Rename Your Images for Better SEO (It’s Easier Than You Think)

Want a quick SEO win that costs nothing and takes less than a minute? Here it is:

Rename your images before uploading them to your website.

Most Christian businesses upload images with names like IMG_2048.jpg or photo1.png. The problem? Google doesn’t know what that is. But change the name to something descriptive, and boom—your image helps your page rank.

Why Image Names Matter

Google looks at image file names to understand what the picture shows. So naming your image something like plumber-fixing-leak-phoenix.jpg is far better than IMG_4921.jpg.

Each image is a chance to include relevant keywords—especially local ones.

Examples

Let’s say you run a Christian lawn care company in Atlanta. Here are some smart image names:

atlanta-yard-maintenance-before-after.jpg
hedge-trimming-christian-landscaper.jpg
faith-based-lawncare-service.jpg

Just be honest about what the image shows, and try to include the service, location, or your business type.
