Using Alt attribute can be beneficial in terms of making search engine friendly websites because the images which are accompanied by links, when you move your mouse pointer over them, you will notice that they are clickable, and using the Alt option, you can assign keywords to the items. This can be a good practice while trying to work on on-page tasks and the top header graphics or navigation menu images could have their Alt units.

It is believed that by doing so, search engines will have a better idea about materials or niches covered on websites and can extract data from their sections in a better way. After selecting a few main keywords for your website, you can add a few icons or images to your homepage, pointing at important internal pages of your site and by adding proper Alt tags to them, usually some improvements in ranks could be expected.
