Add an image with your Focus Keyword as alt text

    Using Divi to build out our pages and RankMath to review all seo requirements we have run into a common issue on each page/post etc where the Alt Tag isn’t being recognized by RankMath. We’ve tried adding the Alt Tag on the media file itself in WordPress and also adding the Alt Tag under Attributes in Divi itself. Confirmed it’s been added, but RankMath doesn’t show it’s been added.

    Tried debunking this a few ways: Remove image on page and add new image and set Alt Tag then. Update image attributes with Alt Tag. We’ve tried Specialty section and Regular sections in DIVI as well, nothing that we can see that is a problem solver with Alt Tag recognition.

    We have read this page and are wondering if it can be implemented by RankMath for this fix?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    I checked your site and some images are missing the alt attribute or it’s empty. I have attached a screencast to show you how to find those specific images in your page source.

    Please check and let us know.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hello,

    Please watch this video to clarify our issue more clearly (shows WordPress page in edit view with RankMath and then Divi builder).

    This is an example URL and as you can see the Alt Attributes for “CBD for pets” and “CBD oil for dogs” in in 1 image each in the source code. But RankMath still shows we haven’t assigned one yet for the focus keyword.

    Please advise,

    Hello,

    We are so sorry about that.

    The compatibility (API) for making the alt text in images visible to the Rank Math content analysis was added by the Divi team.

    It was working when they added it but it seems like they have recently released a theme update that might have broken that functionality.

    Can you please get in touch with them about this issue and see if they have an update on this?

    Thank you.

    We’re still not understanding how this is a DIVI issue? If you look at the source code in the URL I supplied and the focus keywords I listed from my last reply you’ll see DIVI does add the correct Alt text. So what isn’t working here is RankMath looking at the source code and showing the correct information on whether or not the Alt text has been added or not.

    Hi Sam,

    Let me explain.

    If you disable Divi and switch to a different theme, you will see that all your content will look jumbled into shortcodes. In fact, you will have hard time telling what is content and what are the shortcodes used to style that content.

    Here is an example of a page created with Divi theme:
    https://i.rankmath.com/JaoTen

    and here is the same page when you disable Divi:
    https://i.rankmath.com/bh4YLW

    As you can tell, it becomes really hard for any SEO plugin to detect this type of content added by shortcode based page builders. That is why every SEO plugin with content analysis relies on theme developers to tell them what to consider as content and what to ignore as layout elements. Divi did this for Yoast and they have done it for Rank Math:

    But seems something changed in the last few months that broke that functionality.

    So, you have to contact Divi and see what’s going on.

    I hope I have clarified this but do let me know if there is any confusion.

    We’ll reach out to DIVI and see what they have to say. Thank you for the detailed information as this will hopefully help us with DIVI to get this resolved.
