Product Image SEO Template

What it is

For images that belong to a WooCommerce product (featured, gallery or attached), AISA can prepend the real catalog product name to the AI-generated Vision description, using an Image SEO Template. You compose it from two pills: %%product%% (the exact catalog name, never translated) and %%alt%% (the AI description). Example output: Maestrale — blue acoustic panel in a meeting room. An empty template means it is off (normal alt-text).

Where to find it

AISA → SEO Schema Template, inside the template editor: the Image SEO Template (product image ALT) field, under the title builder. Click a pill to insert it. It applies to the slot used by products (usually the "Product" slot).

Requirements & tier

Requires WooCommerce and the SEO Schema Template module. The template must contain %%alt%% to be active. Image alt generation (Vision) supplies the %%alt%% part.

How to use

  1. Open SEO Schema Template and select the product slot.
  2. In the Image SEO Template field, click Product name and AI description to build the pattern (e.g. %%product%% — %%alt%%).
  3. Save the templates.
  4. Run image alt generation for the product (Bulk/1-Click).
  5. For each product image, AISA composes the alt as the template defines.

Questions people ask

  • Which images count as a product's? Featured image, gallery images and attached images (parent product resolved automatically).
  • Is the product name translated? No — the exact catalog title is used (Translation Fidelity).
  • What if the name is already in the alt? AISA detects it and skips the prefix to avoid duplication.
  • How do I disable it? Leave the field empty — images get normal alt-text.
  • Does the field need %%alt%%? Yes — without it the template is treated as off.

Troubleshooting

If the product name is not prepended, confirm the image actually belongs to a published product and that the template field contains %%alt%%. If you see the name twice, that is prevented automatically — check whether the Vision alt already contained it.
