Through this collaboration, UserWay's AI-powered web accessibility technologies will enable Semrush's users to create sites that are now optimized not only for search engines but also for ADA compliance, facilitating a more accessible digital experience for people with disabilities.

Now,  Semrush users will have access to UserWay's Accessibility Widget and Accessibility Scanner available in the Semrush App Center.
