An AI-generated illustration may explain a subject, but it does not prove the actual appearance of a product or the realization of a project. Present it clearly as an illustration. For a purchase decision, also show the features and media that faithfully represent what is being sold.

Define the function of the visual

An article on SEO can use a fictional work scene to make the subject concrete. A product sheet requires another requirement: colors, proportions, accessories and finish should not be assumed from an invented image. Decide before generation whether the image is used to explain, decorate or document. This distinction conditions the legend and places it in the page.

Prepare an appropriate instruction

Describe the subject, the format and the elements to avoid: marks, readable data, false testimonials or interfaces giving the impression of a really measured result. For a business article, prefer a specific scene to a generic robot unrelated to the content. Keep the used instruction and the generation date to facilitate subsequent replacements or corrections.

Choose the visual according to the proof that the reader expects

Before generating or integrating an image, ask what a person could infer from it. A desktop scene can simply give context to an article on SEO. A photo presented as a realization can suggest a place, product or real customer. The declared nature of the media and its location must correspond to its function. A legend should not be used to excuse a misleading representation of the offer.

In this library, the generated images accompany the subjects and are indicated as illustrations AI. They do not document a client response or an audit result. This distinction makes it possible to keep original visuals without assigning them a proof value. To demonstrate a test, it is necessary to publish the protocol and the media actually from this test when its broadcast is appropriate.

Check the result before integration

Examine objects, gestures, perspectives and possible parasitic texts. Check that the visual does not suggest a non-existent service, place or customer. A caption “AI-generated illustration” clarifies its nature; It does not correct a misleading representation of the product. Alternative text should describe the useful function of the image, without accumulation of keywords or documentary pretension.

Fictional example: an artisan cup

A trader keeps the actual photographs to present the cup sold. An AI illustration is only used to accompany an article on the layout of a coffee corner, with an explicit legend. The sheet specifies the dimensions and variations of manufacture. This prevents a fictional staging from being understood as proof of color, texture or accessory included.

Control the media in the page and in the shares

  1. Check the scene: coherent objects, absence of a parasite mark or text, and no elements suggesting a performance or a fictional place presented as real.
  2. Write an alternative text that describes useful information in this context. The legend can specify the origin AI; Alternative text should not become a list of keywords.
  3. Control dimensions, file actually served, weight and variants available. A properly declared large image can nevertheless slow down a page if the chosen file is disproportionate.
  4. Open the social map and streaming stream in your acceptance test. Check that the selected visual matches the article and that its public URLs will be accessible after put online.

Google documents the formats and context of images. These recommendations help to prepare an actionable media; They do not show an increase in visibility. Provenance metadata should remain consistent with the media and do not replace a clear presentation on the page.

For a merchant sheet, associate this control with that of the Product information for purchase assistants. For a study, keep the separation between illustration and Evidence from an original protocol. The good visual is the one that helps to understand without creating false certainty about what has been observed.

To explain a procedure, a Video demo page with transcription May be more useful than a single image. However, she asks for a content actually produced, a reviewed transcription and a control of the scenario shown.

Check the technical delivery of the image

Integrate the image into a suitable HTML element, provide its dimensions and optimized files. Google documents the conditions for discovering images and the interest of a relevant textual context. Check the rendering in the page, the social maps and the RSS. Complete with theImage optimization for multimodal search, keeping their origin AI in your library's metadata.
