Import Image Paths and SEO Image Text

If you have multiple custom SEO product image URLs to define, this article explains how you can save time by uploading your changes in bulk.

Introduction

Custom SEO file names can either be added, or deleted, using the Import SEO Image Text feature.

  • To add custom SEO file names to product images, populate your entries in the last column of the CSV file.
  • To delete custom SEO file names for a single product, leave the last field blank for that entry. The file name of the image will then revert to the dynamic permalink format.
  • To delete custom SEO file names for all products, leave the entire last column of the CSV file blank.
