Connect Image Panel Alt text - not working

Hey there,
here’s my issue. I would like to have my images found on google but unfortunately it’s not working at all. My image on the page is connected to a database and is therefore used as a gallery. I opened up the Connect Image Panel by clicking on the databasae sign and connected ‘alt text’ to a specific field (title). Unfortunately, when i search for the images inside the database on google, all that’s being displayed is the first image in the database. I’ve tried so many things but nothing seems to be working.
Please help me!
Cheers

Hi pilzebasel,

Are you referring to a dynamic page (where each entry from the DB has a unique URL, and that URL displays the image from that DB entry).

Can you share a link to your site?

Hey Ofer,

thank you very much for replying so quickly.

Here’s the link to the page: https://www.pilze-basel.ch/pilze

Could it be that this image is a recent addition to the site, and Google did not re-index it yet?
You could try asking Google to re-index your site via their webmaster online tools.

Hey thank you very much for your quick reply.
Unfortunately nothing has changed yet. I asked Google to re-index my site. The first couple of days none of my images were on google to be found but now that it’s been a week, again only the first image of the database is being found on google images. So…yeah back to square one :slight_smile:

I think I understand:
The page you’re referring to is not a dynamic page - i.e. there is no unique URL for each item.
The page shows only the first image, and only when clicking the other items in the table, they show the respective image.
So google “correctly” finds only the first image, as its’ crawler does not “click” on anything when visiting that page, and only sees the first image.

I think if you want your site to be indexed the way you want, you’ll have to re-architect it so that every item has its own distinct URL.
You can use Dynamic Pages to generate a page for each item in the DB, while designing it once for all items.

I am having the same issue with my donation page. Each item has a different url besides the ones where no url goes and it is still saying I need to Open your WAYS TO DONATE page in the Editor and select an image. Click the Settings icon and in the What’s in the image? Tell Google section: a short description of what is on the image. I did all of that and still getting the same message. Could someone please help?
