    Hello,

    Are there a way to use the element media to make it responsive so it work just like a backgrounds image on a column?
    Because if the image is inserted via Media Elements, Google will index the image. Google does not do that if it is inserted as a background image on a column.

    Hey mvi,

    Background images are considered as design elements, so there’s no way of doing that as far as I know. If the image is uploaded to your site, then it will be indexed anyway though.

    Hello Rikard,

    So it is not possible to make the Media element do the same thing as a background image on a column?
    And this is what my marketing guy tells me about the background image “If the image is inserted via Media Elements, Google will index the image. Google does not do that if it is inserted as a background image.”

    Hi,

    You cannot both have an image as a background and a regular image unfortunately. If the image is uploaded to your site then it will be indexed by search engines, just not on the particular page where you are using it as a background.

    Hi,

    I do not want to have both thing at once.
    I want the media element instead of the background image. So for example if i use the align the columns to have same height the media element wont be bigger than the otherone, just like if we used the image background.

    Is is not possible with some CSS to do that?

    The image will only be indexed if it is used. Our marketing can see if we use it as a background lmage it wont inden on that page. But if we use a media element it will, and that will improve the SEO.

    I hope it make sense.

    Hello,

    Oh okay, not very good to hear.
    But regarding the images not getting indexed, are that something that can be fixed?

    See these sources about the background images not getting indexed:

    Hi,

    As I wrote before; background images are considered as design elements on websites and are not indexed for that same reason – they are not considered as content.

    Best regards,
