Episode Notes

Growth Pillar: Marketing & Branding

The Problem Trevor Gibbs Solves:
Most businesses lose traffic, rankings, and sales because their websites are not accessible — and they don’t even know it.

About 1 in 4 people live with a disability. Millions more deal with temporary vision, hearing, or mobility challenges. When a website is hard to use, people leave. Search engines notice. Rankings drop.

In this episode of Accessible Websites Get Better Rankings and More Customers, Trevor Gibbs, known as The Web Detective, explains how accessible websites improve SEO (Search Engine Optimization), AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization).

He shares simple truths:
If your buttons are unclear, screen readers struggle.
If your videos have no captions, users leave.
If your site is not mobile-first, 80% of visitors get frustrated.

Accessible websites help real people. They also help Google, voice search, and AI engines understand your content better.

This is not just about compliance.
It is about growth.
