It's really easy to keep the default file name your camera gives your images. But it's not a good idea. When it comes to SEO, it's important to use acceptable keywords to help your webpage rank on search engines. Creating descriptive, keyword rich file names are important for image optimization. Search engines don't just crawl the text on your webpage, they also search for keywords within your image file names.

Think about how your customers search for products on your website. What naming patterns do they use when they search? Look at your website analytics, and see what phrasing patterns your customers use to perform searches. Determine the most common naming patterns, and apply that to your image naming process. If you are not going to get that detailed, just be sure to use good keywords when naming your images.
