Optimize both for both search engines and users - with Sara Fernández Carmona

Sara Fernández Carmona shares the importance of optimizing for both search engines and users. Hosted by David Bain.

Discussion points include:

How would you define accessibility?

In 2025, the European Union will enforce the European Accessibility Act - how would you summarise that and what does that mean for SEOs?

What are the areas that providing good accessibility offers beyond visual impairments?

-Cognitive disabilities: clear and straightforward content benefits those with cognitive challenges.

-Auditory disabilities: transcripts and captions make audio content accessible.

-Motor disabilities: ensuring keyboard navigability helps users who cannot use a mouse.

-Temporary disabilities and situational impairments: accessibility also addresses temporary disabilities and situational impairments: for example, a person with a broken arm might find it difficult to use a mouse but can navigate via keyboard, and a parent holding a baby might need to use voice commands instead of touch gestures.

And does inclusive language form part of this?

What are the business benefits?
