Is there a way to change the images in Google search results?

Hey guys,
I've been curious to know this for a few years actually, but I never bothered with this until recently when I saw a similar question. I wonder if it's possible to change the images on Google that comes up whenever you're searching for something?

Here, let me show you what I mean:



As you can see, I went to Google and I was searching for "seoclerks", but instead of using the "all" tab, I went with the "images" one. - That way, images is the only thing that will come up. Just like in the above screenshot.

However, what I wonder is, if this is actually something you can change, and if you can. How do you actually change them?

I suppose this has to be due to backlinks and rankings and this sort of stuff? - Am I right?

It would be awesome to hear a good explanation for this, and also the exact way of changing these images, in case you can do it.

Best Regards,

Andre I think Mike has really nailed this. Images have rankings just like everything else, all the images online can be found in Google image search but they need to be optimized.

So if you want your images to be #1 on Google for those search terms you need to properly optimize those images and your posts for SEO.

As explained above it is all about optimization. Unfortunately there is still not that much importance being placed on the need to use keywords for images too, and as a result they do not always get properly optimized.

Ranking in Google Images is just like ranking web pages in Google search. You need to be relevant, have an alt tag to your image that reflects the keywords in questions but also has an appropriate file name. There are others ranking aspects that may get your images to get good positions in Google images but alt tag and file name is enough for most websites in my opinion.

Also, what exactly are you planning to change? You can't change anything about Google images results, just things about your image, maybe take it down or change it. You can also run a DMCA against websites that are using your images / propriety without your permission.
