23 - How ADA Compliance Can Save You from Lawsuits and Boost Your Agency's SEO
In this episode of the HighLevel Experience Podcast, Vit Muller sits down with Tony Caggiano, known as the ADA Comply Guy, to discuss the critical importance of ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance for websites. Tony shares his journey from IT and business innovation to his current mission of making the internet accessible for people of all abilities. He reveals how ADA compliance is not only essential to avoid lawsuits but also a strategic tool to improve SEO, reach new markets, and access U.S. government tax credits. Tony breaks down the key steps to making websites compliant, the legal risks of non-compliance, and how businesses can benefit from ADA compliance, including up to $5,000 in tax credits annually.
Key Takeaways:
- Tony's Journey: Tony shares his lifelong passion for helping people with disabilities, which led him to focus on ADA compliance after noticing a gap in digital accessibility.
- Understanding ADA Compliance: ADA compliance for websites is essential for avoiding lawsuits and improving user accessibility. Simple adjustments like proper alt text and color contrast can make a big difference.
- Legal Risks: Businesses that ignore ADA compliance are vulnerable to lawsuits with fines starting at $55,000.
- SEO Benefits: Proper ADA compliance, including descriptive alt text, improves SEO performance, reaching both disabled and non-disabled users.
- Tax Credits: U.S. businesses can receive up to $5,000 in annual tax credits for making their websites accessible.
- Marketing Opportunity: Tony encourages businesses to use ADA compliance as a marketing tool and incorporate it into their SaaS offerings, allowing them to differentiate from competitors.
