If they're sitewide then name them accordingly for the design element as they aren't part of a page or topic.  If they are to emphasize and make a page important, name them for the topic of the page and include the proper tagging like alt text and descriptions.  Will make it easier for other developers to find and modify as well.\n\nThe second question is unfortunately not answerable because Google does what it wants.  The best you can do is follow best practices and make sure the images are findable, readable, sized and served correctly.  You can do everything right and Google may still ignore and not display them.  Same goes with logos and favicons.  Sorry I don't have a better answer for you on that one.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Adam Riemer","url":"https:\/\/www.adamriemer.me"}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/www.adamriemer.me\/digital-marketing\/featured-images-matter-for-traffic-and-ux-not-only-seo\/#Comment4","dateCreated":"2024-09-18 08:27:22","description":"Good information. Thanks. But...\r\n\r\nWhat advice do you have for using background images? Many site header images are coded as backgrounds and not just &lt;img src=&quot;... and my understanding is that background images should not have image alts and titles \/ descriptions - although i personally do add alts to the html, even if they are not recognised for SEO purposes. \r\n\r\nAnother question I have is, how do i ensure that Google adds a thumbnail image  to the right of my organic website SERP result - i see some sites have them and others don&#039;t. I have a client who I manged to get these thumbnails to show but have no idea how I can control which one Google uses.
