How SEO And Web Accessibility Crossover

Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) is on May 18th, 2017, we thought it would be wise to delve into the convergence and crossover of SEO and website accessibility.

Disability and accessibility facts / figures:

• 1 billion people of the world’s population live with some form of disability, according to World Bank.
• 14.1 million people in the UK live with disability, according to Scope.
• Retail web businesses are losing £17 billion a year by ignoring accessibility needs, known as the ‘Click-Away Pound’.
• The ‘Purple Pound’ is the combined spending power of disabled people and their households, currently estimated to be worth £274 billion a year to the UK economy.
• Global Accessibility Awareness Day occurs on the third Thursday of May.
• International Day of People with Disabilities was on 3rd December 2020

Website development is a formidable wedlock between all types of web users and search engines.

The Future is Intentional: Semantic Search

What is semantic search?

The word semantic means ‘relating to meaning in language or logic’.

Semantic search is the clarity of intent when it comes to search engines and delivers the user more meaningful results; it’s more accurate and succinct to the users intention as oppose to robotic search results. You could think of it like conversational search, which provides more targeted and meaningful search results from the most relevant sources. The contextualisation of keywords is known as semantic search. Semantic search checks for context and intended meaning behind these keywords.

You should use relevant keywords and phrases in a more natural manner on your website and not just calculated keywords that merely seem to be relevant to a search query. Your content must be relevant to your brand, business, services and most importantly to what the user is searching for. Your content must also be shareable as social search has become a key player for SEO and semantic search, particularly when it comes to Google profile.
