: Do search engines index text contained in SVG elements? Example: <svg><text>Hello World</text></svg>?

@Jessie594

They do indeed index the text itself.

For proof, check out this site: svg.nicubunu.ro/
If you search for the relevant strings, the site shows in the search rankings. I do not know how long it takes to index a new .svg page or element.

You can now use Google search to find SVG documents. SVG is an open,
XML-based format for vector graphics with support for interactive
elements. We’re big fans of open standards, and our mission is to
organize the world’s information, so indexing SVG is a natural step.

We index SVG content whether it is in a standalone file or embedded
directly in HTML. The web is big, so it may take some time before we
crawl and index most SVG files, but as of today you may start seeing
them in your search results.
