SEO tip for image filenames

We're going to cover SEO later in this book but there is one thing you can do now to prepare your site for better optimization. As you're uploading images to your site, make sure the image filenames make sense.

Filenames such as IMG1234.jpg don't tell search engines anything. If you can rename your image filenames to something that provides context to search engines, this will give you a small SEO boost, as in these examples:

• black-coffee-cup.jpg
• rainbox-umbrella.jpg
• 48-inch-{brand-name}-tv.jpg

We'll continue to optimize our products later in this book, but naming your images before you upload them will save you a ton of time.
