Visual Search Tips and Tactics
MozCon 2022
About the Event
In July 2022, I shared my insights on visual search and MozCon, the flagship SEO conference from the team at Moz.
The event included insights from some of the brightest minds in the SEO industry with speakers and delegates joining from around the world. It was an incredible honor to be on the same roster with with some of my SEO heroes.
In my session, I used images from my camera roll to illustrated how tools like Google's Vision AI, Google Lens, Bing's Visual Search and Pinterest are interpereting user generated images, shaping search and search results. It's a topic which I've written on for Moz previously, I was pleased to be able to explore the topic in more depth.
If I had to single out a core message that I want people to take way from the talk, it would be this:
Visual search is different from image search.
With visual search the image is the query.
So visual search optimizations should be for the content of the image,
not just the text cues (alt text, file names, etc) attributed to the image.
