A SEO Question

[Toon61]

Hi all,

I'm currently developing a site for a photographer.
There is only one real text page on this site, all other pages consist of examples (images) of his photographic skills.
These pages of examples must be found by Google, and he wants some text explaining the way he works in specific area's.

But because the pages themselves only show images, how can I add text to it that will be indexed by Google. I'm not talking about image captions, descriptions, alt text or title which can be included by the image.
I'm looking for some way of adding 2 or 3 paragraphs of text that is not visible to the visitor of the site, but must be indexed by Google.

As a test I added a hidden DIV with the text to such a page, but Google doesn't index that, or at least it takes forever before Google is willing to index it.

So, is it possible at all (adding text that is not seen but yet indexable), and if so, could someone be so kind to point me in the right direction.

Google doesn't index hidden text. Their position is that if it's not worth showing, it's not worth indexing. If you use Yoast, you can add an excerpt, but only the first 160 characters are indexed.

Should you not use tags? Google has image publishing guidelines:

Regarding seo, do you think exerts are needed on every post or is changing the meta description in yoast sufficient.

To the OP, I would be using ALT tags for the photos, that way the search engines know what they are as I still think we are a few years away before search engines can index pictures and understand them.
