Your images have a new job in AI search
Why it matters
AI search systems are increasingly using images as retrieval anchors, matching on the image first and pulling surrounding text for the citation, per patent language from Google. That flips a lot of standard SEO thinking, where images were an accessibility or engagement afterthought rather than a citation trigger. Worth auditing whether owned image assets are structured in a way that supports this kind of AI retrieval.
