Hello there!

In this tutorial  I will tell you how to tag stock images using the Pro version of Keywording.AI web service.

For this tutorial I decided to tag 8 images on the theme of office reception interior.

So, firstly I upload a series of images on the same theme.

First I fill in the Main Keywords and Additional Keywords fields (Main Keywords is a list of main words, all these words will be in each picture.

Additional Keywords - additional words that will be added randomly by 30% in each picture).

In Main Keywords I first write 3-5 words that in my opinion best describe these images - reception, office, interior, empty, counter, 

Then I go to shutterstock.com and find 5 images that are most similar to mine. After that, I take the first 5 keywords from each image I find (these are the main words by which buyers find these images) and insert them into Main Keywords (skipping the repetitive ones, of course).

Here's what I got

Next, I take all the remaining keywords from the first line of similar images found, and paste them into the Additional Keywords field.

Here's what I got

If you make similar images - you can create your own unique presets, with the keyword sets you want, and simply apply your preset to similar images in the future.

Next, I go into the settings, and set the Title/Description length and number of keywords I want. 

I then select all the images and click Apply Selected button.

As you can see, all words from Main Keywords (dark green words) and randomly selected (5 words per picture) from Additional Keywords (blue words) have been added to each picture

Now I click Generate Selected and enjoy the result 🙂 🙂

I save the .csv table and paste the keywords and descriptions into StockSubmitter/AdobeStock/Shutterstock.

That's all for now, hope this tutorial will be useful for you 🙂
