Accessrank overview
THE LAWSUIT HIDDEN IN YOUR WEBSITE.
Accessrank is a US accessibility and discovery service for online stores. We fix WCAG 2.2 Level AA failures in your theme code, prove the work in a dated record, and rebuild the product data Google and AI search need to recommend you.
The web's biggest blind spot. Accessrank finds it, fixes it, and proves it.
The lawsuit
Most websites fail accessibility standards, shutting out shoppers with blindness, low vision or mobility issues. Most brands don't find out until a demand letter arrives. We open your store to every shopper, then make sure Google and AI assistants recommend it.
- 95.9% of the top 1M sites fail WCAG
- 70M+ U.S. adults live with a disability
- 5,000+ ADA digital accessibility lawsuits filed in 2025
The letter
Every online store is one demand letter away from a $30,000 problem.
- 5,000+ ADA digital accessibility lawsuits filed in 2025 UsableNet 2025 year-end report
- ~6,176 projected for 2026, a record pace UsableNet 2026 midyear report (projection from filings through June 14)
- 79% of 2026 filings so far target ecommerce UsableNet 2026 midyear report
- 45% of 2025 federal suits hit companies already sued before UsableNet 2025 year-end report
Average cost per claim: $30,000+ in settlement and legal fees. Accessible.org. The letter on screen is a real complaint filed in March 2026; names and contact details are blurred.
Plug-ins
Simply adding an accessibility plug-in isn't a fix. It can trigger a lawsuit.
The FTC fined accessiBe $1 million for misleading claims in 2025. Overlays don't fix the underlying code; they're a litigation signal. Accessrank fixes the source.
- 25% of September 2026 lawsuits involved a site already running an accessibility widget (91 of 360) UsableNet monthly lawsuit tracker

Process
No site downtime. Every fix documented to keep the lawyers at bay.
- Draft, never live Shopify fixes are written to a draft theme. The published theme is never touched until someone explicitly publishes.
- Approval per change Every change is approved file by file. Who approved it, and why, is recorded.
- Write verified After every write, the file is read back and compared with the approved version. If anything differs, nothing goes out.
- 0 remaining A fix is accepted only when the re-scan of the same pages reports zero remaining issues.
- Evidence pack Each fix ships with the rule, the WCAG criterion and before-and-after screenshots — evidence that can support a legal defense.
Engine
Accessibility fixes lift SEO and AI readiness. Product data decides who gets recommended. We do both.
Screen readers, search engines and AI agents all read the same thing: the structure of the page. Real headings, labeled controls and a text description for every image make a store usable for the blind, readable for Google and shoppable by the agents that browse on people's behalf. Whether an assistant names the brand depends on titles, ratings, brand facts and shopping feeds that no accessibility rule covers. We rebuild those across the catalog and check at 30 and 60 days whether the assistants have noticed.
- 54.5% of ecommerce sites have images with no text description, invisible to screen readers and to search WebAIM Million
- 73% of remediated sites saw organic-traffic growth, +12% on average Semrush, 847-site study
