data-start=\"1215\" data-end=\"1527\">Let\u2019s look at a concrete example: an e-commerce site that sells clothing. A user searching for a \u00abbeige wool sweater\u00bb can click directly on an image rather than a text link. If your image is properly optimized, it will appear in the search results and drive traffic to your store.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1529\" data-end=\"1580\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Un_impact_positif_sur_le_referencement_global\"><\/span>A positive impact on overall search engine optimization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1867\">Google takes many factors into account when ranking a website, and the quality of image optimization is one of them. A well-structured website that loads quickly and features properly tagged images will have a better chance of ranking highly in search results. Also, be sure to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joseperez.fr\/en\/balise-canonical\/\">canonical tag<\/a> to avoid duplicate content.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1869\" data-end=\"1919\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comment_Google_analyse_et_classe_les_images\"><\/span>How does Google analyze and rank images?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 data-start=\"1921\" data-end=\"1967\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Le_processus_de_crawling_et_dindexation\"><\/span>The crawling and indexing process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1968\" data-end=\"2160\">Just like with web pages, Google crawls images using bots.
