Image Alt Text is a short written description added behind an image. It’s not visible in the caption. It’s not part of the graphic. It lives in the background.

If the image contains important information, promotions, or visual context, alt text helps make sure everyone gets the same message.

Inside GHL Social Planner, Image Alt Text is now built directly into the publishing workflow.

That means:

• Every image you upload can have its own description
• Each image in a carousel can have a unique description
• You can edit or remove alt text before publishing
• You can see a visual indicator when it’s been added

This isn’t just about compliance. It’s about clarity.

Imagine a local landscaping company is running a seasonal promotion.

A good alt text description could be:

“Summer lawn care promotion advertising a 30% discount on landscaping services.”

Now a visually impaired user understands the offer. That’s the difference.

And because this lives inside Social Planner, you don’t have to log into Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn to fix accessibility later.

You handle it once. Right where you schedule your content.

Image Alt Text inside GHL keeps your publishing process tight, clean, and complete.

Image Alt Text isn’t just a technical feature. It’s a standards feature.

More industries now expect accessible content. Healthcare. Government. Education. Non-profits. Even local service businesses working with municipalities.

If you’re managing content for clients, this matters. Accessibility is no longer “nice to have.” It’s professional baseline.

When you use Image Alt Text in GHL Social Planner, you:

• Help more people engage with your content
• Make your content more inclusive
• Follow modern social media best practices
• Keep your publishing workflow streamlined

And here’s the agency angle. If you’re selling social media management, accessibility can become part of your value proposition.

Instead of saying, “We post for you,” you can say: “We publish fully accessible social media content that meets modern digital standards.”

That hits differently. It positions you above freelancers who are just posting and hoping. It also reduces cleanup work.

Before this update, if you forgot alt text, you had to edit posts natively after publishing. That adds friction. It wastes time. And when you manage multiple clients, friction multiplies fast.

Now it’s handled at the source. Inside GHL. Image Alt Text helps you look sharper, more intentional, and more complete as an agency.

Small feature. Professional difference.

Image Alt Text is added directly inside Social Planner while creating a social media post. You can add a description to each image you upload, make changes before publishing, and use different descriptions for images in a carousel or multi-image post.

The following steps will show you how to access Social Planner, upload images, add Image Alt Text, and prepare your post for scheduling or publishing in GoHighLevel.

• Access Marketing and Create a New Social Post.
• Create and edit the post.
• Add Image Alt Text in the image.
• Edit or Remove Image Alt Text.
• Publish or Schedule Your Post.

To start, make sure you are logged in to your GoHighLevel sub-account..

• The Main Menu on the left side of your screen has all the main areas you work in when using GHL.

1.1 Click on the “Marketing” menu item.

• This is where your campaigns, emails, and social tools live.

1.2 Click on “Social Planner.”

• You’ll now be inside the Social Planner dashboard where you can create and manage posts.

1.3 Click the “Create New Post” button.

• This opens the post builder where you can write your content, upload images, and configure Image Alt Text before publishing.

• This opens the post creation window.

2.1 Select the social accounts you want to publish to.

• Choose the connected platforms (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.).

2.2 Upload one or more images.

• Click the media upload area.
• Select your image files.
• Wait for them to finish uploading.

You will now see your images displayed inside the post editor.

2.3 Hover your mouse over the uploaded image. Click the “Alt Text” icon.

• You will see an “Alt Text” option appear.

• A text field will open for that specific image.

3.1 Enter your description.

• Clearly describe what the image shows.
• Keep it short but meaningful.
• Avoid stuffing keywords.

3.2 Save your alt text.

• Once saved, a visual indicator will show that Image Alt Text has been configured for that image.

If you uploaded multiple images or a carousel, repeat these steps for each one. Each image can have its own unique description.

• If you need to make changes to an existing description, you can update or remove it before your post is published.

4.1 Hover over the image again and click the “Alt Text” icon. Edit the description or remove it if necessary.

This will reopen the Image Alt Text editor for that specific image.

• Before publishing, take a moment to review your content and make sure everything is ready to go.

5.2 Click “Post Now” or schedule your post.

GHL will automatically:

• Send Image Alt Text to platforms that support it.
• Ignore it safely on platforms that do not.

No extra settings required. No extra integrations. It works inside your normal Social Planner workflow.

Now that you know how to add Image Alt Text inside GHL, let’s make sure you do it well. Because not all alt text is good alt text.

If you’re managing content for clients, this is where you separate yourself from average social managers.

Here’s how to do it right. Be descriptive, not decorative Describe what’s actually in the image.

If it’s a photo of a contractor installing shingles, say that.

Example: “Roofing contractor installing dark grey shingles on a residential home.”

That’s clear. That’s useful.

Don’t keyword stuff

Image Alt Text is not a place to cram SEO phrases.

Bad example: “Best roofing contractor roofing company roof repair services.”

Try reading it out loud. If it sounds strange in conversation, simplify it.

Say what matters and leave out the rest

You don’t need a paragraph. One clean sentence is usually enough.

Focus on what matters most in the image:

• The subject
• The action
• Any visible text
• The context

Make each image unique in carousels

A carousel is made up of individual images, not copies of the same image. Describe each one based on its content.

Every image shows something different.

Use the unique-per-image feature inside GHL properly. That’s one of the biggest upgrades in this update.

Include visible promotional text

If your image says: “Free Consultation – Book Today”

Your Image Alt Text should mention that. Screen reader users deserve the same marketing message as everyone else.

Think accessibility first

Look at the image and ask yourself what’s worth mentioning. Start there.

You don’t need a perfect description. You just need one that explains the image clearly.

This is where Image Alt Text stops being a “nice feature” and starts becoming a selling point.

If you run an agency, manage sub-accounts, or offer white-label services, this upgrade gives you leverage.

Here’s how.

Local Service Businesses

Think roofing companies. Dentists. Chiropractors. Contractors.

They post photos of:

• Completed jobs
• Before-and-after projects
• Team members
• Promotions

Most of them never think about accessibility. You can.

By adding Image Alt Text inside GHL, you ensure every project photo and promo graphic is fully described. That positions your agency as more professional and detail-oriented.

Healthcare and Government Clients

These industries care about compliance and accessibility standards.

When you use Image Alt Text in Social Planner, you show that your content strategy includes accessibility best practices. That builds trust.

Non-Profits and Community Brands

Inclusivity matters deeply in these spaces. Accessible social media content isn’t optional. It aligns with their mission.

Using Image Alt Text helps you serve that mission better.

High-Volume Content Agencies

If you manage 10, 20, or 50 client accounts, switching into native apps just to add alt text kills efficiency.

Now it’s handled at the publishing level inside GHL. One workflow. One platform.

Consistent standards across every sub-account.

White-Label SaaS Agencies

If you resell GHL, this becomes part of your onboarding pitch.

“We publish accessible, inclusive social media content using built-in Image Alt Text controls.”

That’s not just posting. That’s publishing with standards.

Real-Time Marketing Application

Here’s how to implement this immediately:

• Add Image Alt Text to your internal social media SOP
• Train VAs to write one-sentence descriptions per image
• Include accessibility in your content approval checklist
• Mention accessibility in your service proposals

Small tweak. Stronger positioning. Image Alt Text inside GHL isn’t flashy. But it quietly upgrades your agency’s professionalism.

Image Alt Text is simple. But simple doesn’t mean people use it correctly.

Here are the most common mistakes agencies make when adding Image Alt Text inside GHL.

Leaving it blank

This is the biggest one. You upload the image. You schedule the post. You forget the alt text.

Now your content is only accessible to some users.

Treat it like any other step before you hit publish.

Using generic descriptions

“Image” “Photo” “Graphic”

That tells no one anything. Be specific. Describe what’s actually happening.

Copy-pasting the same text across a carousel

Each image has its own purpose.

If you post:

• Slide 1 – Promotion
• Slide 2 – Customer testimonial
• Slide 3 – Before and after

Each one needs a unique description. That’s why GHL allows alt text per image. Use it properly.

Keyword stuffing

Alt text is not a ranking hack. If it sounds robotic, it’s wrong.

Write like you’re explaining the image to a real human.

Forgetting visible text in the graphic

If your image includes words like:

• “Limited Time Offer”
• “Free Audit”
• “Book Now”

That should be included in your Image Alt Text description. Otherwise, screen reader users miss the entire message.

Rushing through it

It takes 10–15 seconds per image. That small effort changes the quality of your content.

The tool is there. The real value comes from actually using it.

Image Alt Text inside GHL Social Planner is one of those updates that seems small… Until you realize what it changes.

You’re no longer just posting content. You’re publishing accessible content. You’re no longer skipping steps because switching platforms is annoying. You’re handling everything in one clean workflow.

Inside GHL.

With Image Alt Text, you can:

• Make your social posts more inclusive
• Improve accessibility standards
• Keep everything inside Social Planner
• Elevate your agency’s professionalism
• Deliver more complete marketing for clients

And it takes seconds per image. That’s it. Small action. Higher standard.

If you manage social accounts inside GoHighLevel, start adding Image Alt Text to every image you publish. Make it part of your checklist. Train your team. Build it into your SOP.

Your content becomes cleaner. Your process becomes stronger. Your agency becomes sharper.
