Help Google understand your content
People love images and video, but search engines are designed for text. The more information you give us about your images and video, the better. Check out our guidelines for publishing images and video, but in general, follow these guidelines:
* Use descriptive file names. The file name black-fender-guitar.jpg tells us a lot more than image1.jpg.
* Create great alt text. Alt text is used to describe the contents of an image file. It’s great for human readers, but it also provides search engines with useful information about the target image or video.
* Give your images and video context. Google can infer a great deal about your image or video from the content surrounding it. For example, a picture of a guitar on a page about the history of guitars sends a strong signal to search engines that black-fender-guitar.jpg is about guitars.
* Provide a great user experience. Try not to make users scroll to see your images and video, and use high-quality source files.
Upload your video content to YouTube to reach a wider audience.

Essentially, a Sitemap is a list of the pages, images, or video on your website, but it can also include additional information. For example, you can include title, description, playpage URL, thumbnail URL and the video URL for each video on your site, or provide name and file location, the caption, the title, the location where the photo was taken, and any licensing information for your images.
