🎨 Step 6: AI Captioning in Action​

Real-World Example:​

Before (Manual):​

<img src="product-shoe.jpg" alt="Product image 1" />
  • ❌ Generic, not SEO-friendly
  • ❌ Not accessible
  • ❌ No structured data

After (AI-Powered):​

<img 
  src="product-shoe.jpg" 
  alt="Red and black athletic shoe with white swoosh logo, displayed against solid red background"
  data-caption="Striking red and black athletic shoe with sleek design, set against bold red backdrop"
/>

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "ImageObject",
  "contentUrl": "https://myshop.com/products/red-shoe.jpg",
  "name": "Running Shoe",
  "caption": "Striking red and black athletic shoe with sleek design, set against bold red backdrop",
  "description": "Red and black athletic shoe with white swoosh logo, displayed against solid red background"
}
</script>
  • ✅ SEO-optimized alt text
