Multi-Modal Understanding: Image & Video GEO
Key Takeaways
- • Image content analysis — AI understands what images contain
- • ALT text optimization — Auto-generate and improve ALT descriptions
- • Video content indexing — Analyze video for GEO optimization
- • Visual-text alignment — Ensure images match surrounding content
- • +3 content types covered — Images, infographics, videos
Claude 5 and DeepSeek V4's improved multimodal capabilities enable Seenos to optimize not just text content, but images, infographics, and video—expanding GEO coverage to all content types on your site.
Current GEO tools focus almost exclusively on text. But AI models increasingly understand visual content. According to Anthropic's research, Claude 4 already has strong image understanding; Claude 5 is expected to add video comprehension. Sites with well-optimized visual content will have a significant advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions #
How does multimodal GEO improve citations?
AI models increasingly evaluate visual content when assessing page quality. Well-optimized images with accurate ALT text, relevant infographics, and properly structured videos all contribute to higher authority signals and citation likelihood.
Can AI really understand images?
Yes. Modern multimodal AI models can accurately describe image contents, identify objects and text within images, assess image quality, and determine relevance to surrounding text. Claude 4 already has strong image understanding; Claude 5 will be even better.
Will video optimization be available immediately?
Video optimization depends on Claude 5's video understanding capabilities. We'll roll out video features as soon as the underlying model capabilities are available and stable. Image optimization will be available first.
