ADA Compliance and SEO: Why Accessibility Matters for Your Website

Heather Hamilton Season 1 Episode 12

Accessibility extends far beyond the physical world—it applies to your website, too.

In this episode, we break down why ADA compliance is about more than just checking a legal box. It’s about creating an inclusive digital space that works for everyone. And, when you make your site accessible, you’re also making it more SEO-friendly.

We’ll cover:

  • Why ADA compliance matters for all businesses 
  • How accessibility and SEO share the same ultimate goal: a better user experience
  • The overlap between assistive technology (like screen readers) and voice search optimization
  • Practical ways ADA compliance supports technical SEO, on-page SEO, and user engagement

At the end of the day, accessibility comes first. SEO just happens to benefit along the way.
