Almost all of my pages are indexed, but the images aren’t showing up in Google Images. I use Google’s Indexing API, and I’d like to know how to get my images indexed as well.
Is there a way to force image indexing through the API? If so, how should I link the images?
You can try copying the image URL and pasting it into Google Search Console. It may take some time to get indexed.
Images can take time to index in Google Images, especially if they’re in formats like WebP. JPEG and PNG tend to index faster. Make sure to optimize the images with proper names and metadata, which can help them index quicker. You can also use tools like RIOT to compress images without losing quality.
Make sure each image has descriptive alt text, keyword-rich file names, and structured data using ImageObject schema. Creating and submitting an image sitemap through Google Search Console can also help. Additionally, you can use the Google Indexing API.
