There are 3 levels of accessibility: A, AA, AAA. The higher the level, the better your website meets the requirements and allows greater accessibility to users. Currently, all federal institutions’ websites must meet AA compliance on all items.
If a website creates access to the business’ goods or services in a public place, then there should be no barriers from accessing those services online. Again, if the website has no connection to the goods or services offered in store then the website does not need to be ADA compliant
Simple things that you could do to be more ADA compliant:
– meta tagging
– alternative image text
– video transcripts
You can get a certification: https://webaim. org/services/certification/
I have found no evidence that Google rewards/penalizes ADA compliant websites as of right now.
