This is a good opportunity to use the same focus keyword to describe the image and score all the Image SEO points as well. <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Yoast Focus Keyword As Image Attribute With Image Attributes Pro<\/h2><p>With the 2.0 release of Image Attributes Pro, it is dead simple to use Yoast Focus Keyword as an attribute. You have the option to define a custom attribute for each of your attributes like image title, alt text, caption and description. <\/p><p>You will find two sets of options: <\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You can define attributes for new uploads in the <code>Advanced<\/code> tab.<\/li>\n\n<li>You can decide how the bulk updater should update existing images in posts \/ products using <code>Bulk Updater Settings<\/code> tab. <\/li><\/ul><p>For example, for Image Title, you will find something like this. You can see a list of <code>Available tags<\/code>. In the list you will see the tag for Yoast Focus Keyword: <code>%yoastfocuskw%<\/code>. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1369\" height=\"445\" src=\"https:\/\/imageattributespro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/yoast-focus-keyword-as-image-title.png\" alt=\"Yoast Focus Keyword As Image Title\" class=\"wp-image-2059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imageattributespro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/yoast-focus-keyword-as-image-title.png 1369w, https:\/\/imageattributespro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/yoast-focus-keyword-as-image-title-730x237.png 730w, https:\/\/imageattributespro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/yoast-focus-keyword-as-image-title-768x250.png 768w, https:\/\/imageattributespro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/yoast-focus-keyword-as-image-title-600x195.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1369px) 100vw, 1369px\" \/><\/figure><p>Simply click the tag and it will be added as the custom attribute.
