Does Improving Website Accessibility Help with SEO?

Yes — improving accessibility can positively impact your website’s SEO. Many accessibility best practices overlap with technical SEO and usability improvements, including:

• Alt text for images helps search engines understand content
• Semantic HTML and proper heading structure improves crawlability
• Clear navigation reduces bounce rates and improves user experience
• Mobile responsiveness and performance enhancements help both users and rankings

Google increasingly values user experience metrics, and accessible websites are more likely to meet core web vitals. Plus, accessibility improvements often lead to longer dwell times and broader user engagement.
