**Q: Why can’t Google see my credential logos, and how do I fix it?**
⚠️ Before you start: back up your site first.
What this fixes: Your credential badges are loaded as background images, which search engines and AI tools can’t read — so the trust signal is invisible.
Steps:
1. Find your credential badges on the page (for example, NAR or CRS logos).
2. Test one: right-click it on your live site. If you CAN’T “Save image as,” it was added as a background image.
3. Re-add each badge as a normal image using your editor’s “Add Image” button.
4. Give each image “alt text” that names it — for example, “Certified Residential Specialist logo.”
5. Save, clear your cache, then right-click each badge again and confirm you can now “Save image as.”
Tools you may need:
– Your page editor (Divi Builder image module, or the block editor’s Image block).
Common mistakes to avoid:
– Leaving alt text blank — that’s the part engines read.
– Re-adding the logo but keeping the old background version too, causing duplicates.
When to call SEO Doctor:
– You’re not sure whether a logo is a background image.
– The badges are baked into a theme header you can’t edit.
