    Oh yes. Alt tags are an important part of on site SEO. Most of the CMS software like Wordpress or Joomla does it automatically.

    Yes, alt tags are one of the basics for on-page image seo.

    Still helps,

      Search engines read the image description by using alt tags only

    Yip definitely. If not all of them, at least a few on each page which contain your main keyword in the alt text.
