Bad SEO For Quotes on Blog

[integral]

@Leo Gura this page has no usable text or metadata for the quote. https://www.actualized.org/insights/profound-quotes-111

This makes it impossible to search quotes as they are in image format. 

[Leo Gura]

Yes, this is true.

I have been considering turning future quotes into HTML text. But not sure if it will look as nice.

@Leo Gura Invisible alt text or a hidden text layer on the image would solve the searchability problem without changing the look at all. Or just render them as styled HTML — you’d have full control over the design and it’d actually look better on mobile.

@Leo Gura 

You can keep the image exactly as is.

Quote

1. alt text on each image — this is an HTML attribute, not embedded image metadata. Put the full quote text here. This is what search engines actually read.
2. A visible or visually-hidden caption with the quote text near the image, so there's real on-page text for indexing.
3. Schema.org Quotation structured data (JSON-LD) so Google understands it's a quote and can attribute it properly.
