Why Website Accessibility Matters for SEO and Ethics

Web accessibility (WCAG 2.1) isn’t just about legal compliance – it’s about reaching a wider audience and improving SEO.

Search engines favor sites that are accessible. Simple fixes like alt text, proper heading structure, and keyboard navigation benefit both users and bots.

Quick wins:

• Add descriptive alt attributes to images
• Ensure sufficient color contrast
• Use semantic HTML (buttons, links, landmarks)
