Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.8

GPA, above 60 of the 78 other SEO plugins and apps we grade

AltKing, which StarApps also calls Variant Alt Text King, fills in the alt text of a Shopify store's product images in one pass. The text is built from variables such as the variant, image name, product title, type, tags and brand, and a daily sync gives new images alt text too. Working with StarApps' Variant Image Automator, it adds the right variant details to each variant image for SEO and screen readers.

To get you started, here are 8 things to know about AltKing: AI Alt Text SEO & ADA, taken from its own pages and our grades.

No rating on record, but there's little to set: pick the variables for the template, run it once, and the daily sync handles new images.

  • Watch out: despite AI in its name, the listing describes alt text built from templates, not written by AI
  • Too light for meta tags, schema, sitemaps or redirects, as it covers product image alt text only
  • Watch out: variant details in alt text need Variant Image Automator, another StarApps app
  • Watch out: the listing links no help center or FAQ, so questions go to StarApps support
