Direct answer
A local business ADA website review should focus on booking forms, contact forms, phone links, menus, service pages, galleries, maps, reviews, PDFs, keyboard access, contrast, labels, and clear visitor support.
Local Conversion Paths
Review appointment booking, quote requests, menu downloads, map embeds, phone links, live chat, newsletter forms, and location pages.
The most important accessibility issue is often the one that blocks someone from contacting the business.
Content And Media
Use meaningful alt text for service photos, readable menus, captioned videos, clear headings, and PDFs that are accessible or duplicated in HTML.
Avoid placing critical service details only inside images.
Affordable Maintenance
Run periodic scans, manually test the booking path, keep an accessibility statement current, and review changes after site redesigns or plugin updates.
