Is Alt Text Useful for SEO?

Alt text or alternative text is a brief explanation of an image that is installed on a website page. The main goal of the creator is to provide a description of the image, so that it will be easily understood by site visitors. But my question is, will alt text have any benefits for SEO?

It’s useful if you have images, but for links, you’ll have to use the title tag.

An alt tag tells the search engines what your image is about and can help boast your rankings if you use it correctly.

The same thing applies for the title tag.
