How I Made Yoast Image-SEO-Proof by Building the Missing Link: LLM Image Optimizer

Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment. Yoast and similar tools do a brilliant job with on-page SEO, but images often get overlooked even though they have such a big impact on speed, accessibility, and discoverability. That “missing link” analogy with practical, project-based learning is spot on — it’s all about taking something theoretical and making it work in the real world.

I’ll definitely check out what you’re working on with Brolly Academy too — sounds like you’re applying the same philosophy of bridging knowledge with execution. Always great to see that mindset across different fields 🚀

Thanks so much, Totally agree — images are such a huge part of both rankings and user experience, but they often end up being the “afterthought” in SEO.

That’s exactly why I built LLM Image Optimizer — to take that missing piece and make it practical: not just compression, but context-aware alt text, smart filenames, and metadata that actually tie images into your content strategy.

Yoast does an amazing job on the text side, but pairing it with image optimisation is where content-heavy sites (blogs, portfolios, e-commerce) can really level up.

I’ll keep sharing updates as it develops — would love to hear how you currently handle images on your site(s).

Thanks! You’re right, LLM Image Optimizer has a super tight WordPress integration, but it’s not limited to WordPress. I also use it continuously as part of my coding workflow using cursor as it 1, cuts down the response time when using images as context and 2 reduces token costs so I get more bang for my buck during some development tasks.

At its core though it’s a desktop app that:

• Batch compresses & resizes images

• Provides screen capture and image editing

• Annotations and watermarking

• Auto-generates alt text, titles, captions

• Strips EXIF data for faster load & privacy

You can run all of that on your Notion assets folder before uploading. Since Notion/Super don’t give you deep SEO controls, the best workaround is:

1. Optimise + rename your images locally with LLM IO (smart filenames help indexing)

2. Add descriptive alt text manually when embedding into Notion (using LLM IO’s AI-generated tags as copy-paste)

3. Keep file sizes lean to avoid Super slowing down with 250 posts

It won’t be as seamless as WordPress, but you’ll still get the speed + metadata benefits and make your portfolio more search-friendly.

Hey Ive added a blog post to the website just for Notion users.

Thanks for explaining! It’s been a long day for me—posting on six sites—so I’ll check out PixSEO AI tomorrow and then get back to you as well :)

Thanks for sharing PixSEO — looks like we’re both tackling the same pain points

What I’ve tried to do with LLM Image Optimizer is keep it desktop-first and completely private (no need to upload images to third-party servers). That way users get:

• Zero ongoing costs (no SaaS subscription) $59.00 for lifetime use!

• Offline capability (works without internet)

• Full control of their files (nothing leaves their machine unless they push to WordPress)

• Direct WordPress integration (pull images from your Media Library, optimise them in bulk, and push them back fully SEO-ready)

So it’s a slightly different philosophy: SaaS vs desktop. Both useful depending on the workflow people prefer.

Thanks for the comment

You’re right — SEO is insanely competitive, and there are loads of AI/LLM tools popping up that promise “aggressive” shortcuts. I think a lot of that ends up being noise, or even counter-productive if Google/LLMs can spot it as artificial.

What I’m trying to do with LLM Image Optimizer is keep it practical and useful: instead of spamming content, it saves people from the repetitive grind of batch-optimising images, stripping data, and writing alt text/captions. Stuff that’s important for SEO, accessibility, and performance — but painful to do manually.

So yeah, it’s less about chasing SEO hacks and more about giving site owners a workflow that actually saves time and helps their sites perform better.
