SEO Basics
Accessibility SEO
Accessibility SEO is the overlap between accessible web design and search-friendly content, structure and navigation.
What it means
Accessible pages use clear HTML, readable text, descriptive alternatives for media, keyboard-friendly navigation and sensible headings. Many of those choices also help search engines understand and crawl content more reliably.
Why it matters
It matters because better accessibility improves usability for people and machines, while reducing friction for visitors using assistive technologies or mobile devices.
Example
Adding descriptive alt text, semantic headings and visible focus states can improve both accessibility and content clarity.
Common mistakes
Common mistakes include treating accessibility as a compliance checkbox, replacing semantic HTML with visual-only components, or stuffing image alt text with keywords.
