Alt Text at Scale: How One Store Added 10,000 Alt Tags in a Day with Accessify Web Accessibility:
Coin & Jewelry Gallery added 10,000+ alt tags in a single day using Accessify, transforming their entire visual catalog into an SEO powerhouse. Their Shopify store skyrocketed in Google Image Search rankings for rare coins, custom jewelry, and bullion, turning image-heavy inventory into a consistent traffic driver, without touching a keyboard.
This Shopify store went from a major SEO blind spot to dominating searches like “Gainesville coin dealer” and “custom jewelry appraisal”, proving that Accessify scales accessibility into revenue for serious ecommerce businesses.
The Challenge: Image-Heavy Shopify Store with Zero Alt Text
Shopcoinandjewelrygallery.com specializes in rare coins, unique jewelry designs, GIA-trained appraisals, and bullion trading. Their Shopify store featured hundreds of collections and tens of thousands of high-value images, yet none had alt text.
Owners Dave, Vince, and Ann faced several critical challenges:
SEO Black Hole
Product and collection images were invisible to Google, missing nearly 20% of visual search traffic for queries like “rare coins Gainesville” and “custom engagement rings.”
Massive Time Sink
Manually adding alt text to 10,000+ images, including featured collections, customer appraisals, and sold inventory, would have taken months, pulling focus away from appraisals, repairs, and in-store customers.
Accessibility Gap
The site faced potential ADA compliance risks, while most ecommerce stores still ignore alt text, losing conversions from visually impaired shoppers.
Competitive Disadvantage
Local jewelers with smaller inventories ranked higher simply because their images included basic descriptions.
Before Accessify:
Low image traffic, stalled organic growth, and underutilized visual assets, despite glowing customer reviews like “Dave fixed my wedding band perfectly.”
