    Hi,

    I'm working through my site to improve the SEO. My site is a photo portfolio site, so is 99% images, as you might expect. With regards to SEO, it seems the sitemap.xml created via yoast only recognises the featured image from the project, so list only 1 image, and as a result that's all google etc can see.

    How do I help the sitemap and google see all of my images in each post?

    Thanks for any help, Paul.

      hey!
      the images should be findable by google also without a sitemap xml site.

      the important part here is the alt tag which i see u have set:

      when did you set the alt tags?
      it could take a while for google to index the images.

      not sure how to proceed here, have you submitted your site here?

        Hi, thanks for the ALT tag info, yes I have this all setup already.

        What I'm trying to achieve though is google knowing which page / project on my site the images appear on. So when you google my name and a project title, all of the images appear and all link to that page. See below how my agents site looks for example in google when you search - Paul Calver SOAR

        Where as for my results, you only get one image per project, the featured image?

        So I'm still looking for a way to solve this if you have any thoughts? Although the sitemap.xml isn't needed necessarily, it's a good insight into how the data is seen.

        Thanks, Paul.

          look

          here i search for site:paulcalver.cc
          then i switch to the images tab

          maybe try to add captions under each image?
          also try submit an image-sitemap.xml to google search console

          my guess right now is google doesn't index all of your images, just the first one per page because it thinks the other images are less relevant mh
