Free SEO and WCAG accessibility audit for your website
Quick answer: The free 45Squared audit crawls your website for search visibility and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, then sends you the findings in plain English. It takes about a minute to request, with no call and no obligation.
What does the audit check?
The audit looks at your site the way search engines, AI assistants and assistive technology do. It covers:
- Technical SEO. Titles, descriptions, headings, speed, mobile layout and indexing.
- Site structure. Internal links, sitemaps and structured data.
- Accessibility. Color contrast, image descriptions, form labels and keyboard use, measured against WCAG 2.1 AA.
- AI readability. Whether assistants like ChatGPT can read and quote your content.
Why does accessibility matter for a small business?
Many of your customers browse with a screen reader, a keyboard instead of a mouse, or zoomed-in text. If they can’t use your site, they buy somewhere else.
There’s a legal side too. The Department of Justice says the ADA covers the websites of businesses open to the public. Its guidance on web accessibility explains what that means. Failing WCAG is a legal risk now, not just a design flaw.
What do I get back?
You get a plain-English list of what’s wrong, ranked by how much it matters. Each item says what to fix and why. There’s no jargon and no sales pitch hidden in the findings. Most small business sites share the same handful of problems. Common ones are missing page descriptions, images with no text alternative, low-contrast text and forms without labels. The list tells you which of these apply to your site.

Common questions
What is WCAG 2.1 AA?
WCAG 2.1 AA is the accessibility standard most organizations aim for. It’s published by the W3C, the group that sets web standards. It covers color contrast, keyboard use, image descriptions, form labels, clear headings and more. Level AA is the middle of three levels, and it’s the one most legal guidance and procurement rules point to.
Is website accessibility a legal requirement?
The US Department of Justice has said the ADA applies to websites of businesses open to the public. See its web accessibility guidance. Businesses have faced demand letters and lawsuits over inaccessible sites. We’re not lawyers, so talk to yours about your situation. Fixing the common failures is still good practice either way.
Do I have to hire you after the audit?
No. The findings are yours to use however you like. Many owners fix the simple items themselves, like missing image descriptions or page titles. Others hand the list to their current developer. If you want us to fix things, we’ll quote that separately. The audit itself stays free either way, with no follow-up sales calls.
