Hello @adam1991bd 🙂
Welcome to this awesome community. I don’t think your gig image metadata can help you a lot. But the image file name is important, When it comes to image SEO, it’s important to use relevant keywords to help your gig rank on search engines. Creating descriptive, keyword-rich file names is crucial for image optimization. Search engines not only crawl the text on your account, they also crawl your image file names.
Thank you 🙂

Hi,

Unfortunately, the name of the image is also not very relevant because Fiverr uses the cloudinary service to manage the images and when they are uploaded in this service the name assigned corresponds to the name of the Gig.

For Example this is the result for my image with another name:

<img alt="automate your tasks through apps script" src="https://fiverr-res.cloudinary.com/images/t_main1,q_auto,f_auto,q_auto,f_auto/gigs/254838588/original/8cd53d6e67d4b1e75ad0ccb83f67df8144525702/automate-your-tasks-through-the-cloud-with-scripts.jpg" class="image-loaded">

The name of Gig is:

I will automate your tasks through apps script

Both the file name and the alternate file name correspond to the title without the text "I will".

Actually had no idea about this at all. Perhaps file name crawling works best on our own personal blogs and websites but not on Fiverr specifically. Good to know.
