Alttext and Decorative Images

Dear all,

A marketing group I am working with wants to use alttext for
decorative images to improve indexing and ranking for SEO purposes.

The proposed solution is to add aria-hidden="true" to avoid any
negative impact of this implementation for screen reader users.

Is this an effective solution? Or, are there other implementations
that can produce equally/better results for for both accessibility
consumers and SEO purposes?

Thanks
