That gives you the proper format to be added to your Webmaster Tools account.How this Magic Works?
Although many people know how important ALT and TITLE attributes are for images, however, now we can forget about adding them manually when uploading images for products, as it remains in the past with Woocommerce SEO Images.

We provide a wide range of options to help you to build a powerful tool and have an opportunity to get a higher rank. You can create multiple sets of rules allowig you to specify on which pages or set of pages the images will be optimized. Alternatively, you can use an exclude rule to specify areas which you don’t need the plugin to work it’s magic on.

Internal Images – Internal images are images that are attached to the current product. These are most images that you upload to your product. You can select how do you want Woocommerce SEO Images to handle links for this images. External Images – This option relates to all images that are not attached (uploaded to the current product). This could be images that are just added using the URL to the image file (in most cases externally linked images). Available options are:
Leave as it is – do nothing with links.
Post – link to the image’s post
Attachment page – link to the image’s attachment page
Image file – link to the image file. In this case you also have the ColorBox preview available.
Here is an explanation how to configure a popular setup. Images in products on your home/shop pages should link to the products itself, but when viewed in a single product, clicking the image should open it’s preview in a nice ColorBox. To set up this you would set the rules option Automatically link internal images to Image file and enable ColorBox option. You would then add an exception Rule, selecting only Shop page (unselecting Product Page option) and select Automatically link internal images to Post.
