How to Add Image Alt Text in Hostinger Website Builder for SEO Boost

July 14, 2025

If you’re building your website with Hostinger and want to improve your SEO, adding alternative text (alt text) to your images is an essential step. In this short guide, we’ll walk you through the exact process of adding alt text using the Hostinger Website Builder.

What Is Image Alt Text and Why It Matters

Alt text is a short description added to images on your website. It helps search engines understand what the image is about and improves your website’s accessibility for users with visual impairments. Properly written alt text can boost your website’s ranking and help your content appear in image search results.

Step-by-Step: Adding Image Alt Text in Hostinger

  1. Log into Your Hostinger Account
    Start by logging into your Hostinger dashboard and heading to the “Websites” section.
  2. Open the Website Editor
    Click on “Edit Website” next to the site you want to update.
  3. Insert or Select an Image
    If you don’t have an image yet, drag an image block into the section. Use one of the templates or upload a new image.
  4. Edit the Image Settings
    Select the image, then click “Edit Image” in the toolbar. Look for the Alternative Text field under the photo.
  5. Write a Concise Description
    Enter a short but descriptive sentence (10 words or less is ideal). For example: “Modern train passing through the mountains at sunset.”
  6. Save and Publish
    Click Update Website, then view your live site. To verify the alt text, hover your mouse over the image—you should see your description.

Tips for Effective Alt Text

  • Be descriptive but concise.
  • Mention keywords naturally when possible.
  • Avoid phrases like “image of” or “photo of.”
  • Make sure the text relates directly to the image content.
