TUCSON,
Ariz., Aug. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AudioEye,
Inc. (NASDAQ: AEYE), the industry-leading digital accessibility
provider, today announced a joint effort with Localogy, the leading
non-profit trade association supporting local businesses, to
provide Localogy members with access to digital accessibility
resources and learning opportunities through the association's
knowledge center.
"Over the years, Localogy has built a powerful network of
organizations with a shared goal of helping local businesses
navigate challenges and thrive. One of the key challenges for
businesses today is making their websites accessible to people with
diverse needs and being discoverable online," said Bill Dinan, President at Localogy. "We're
excited to team up with AudioEye and provide our members, and the
more than 30 million local businesses they serve, with
opportunities to learn about AudioEye's digital accessibility
solution and ways to ensure ongoing accessibility on their
sites."
Based on a recent analysis of 3,500 randomly websites across 22
industries, including healthcare, e-commerce, and employment,
AudioEye found that 83% of e-commerce sites, 78% of healthcare
sites, and 77% of jobs and career sites had accessibility issues
that blocked a screen reader user's ability to complete key tasks,
such as viewing product descriptions, completing a purchase,
filling out an application, or booking an appointment.
While there are a number of reasons why so many businesses
struggle to address accessibility, the lack of knowledge and access
to an affordable and effective digital accessibility solution are
among the top reasons for inaccessible websites.
AudioEye's patented technology allows businesses of all sizes to
address accessibility issues and create more inclusive online
experiences in an effective and sustainable way. With real-time
monitoring and automation that detects up to 70% of common
accessibility issues — such as non-descriptive links or missing
form labels — and fixes about two-thirds of them, AudioEye makes it
possible for businesses to reach strong levels of accessibility and
continuously improve their sites' performance.
"We're honored to work with Localogy, a trusted source of
insights and resources for local businesses and the companies that
serve them," said Rob Ulveling,
Chief Business Officer at AudioEye. "We know that when businesses
address accessibility issues on their websites, they are
significantly improving experiences for all their digital
customers. We look forward to sharing insights on AudioEye's robust
and easy-to-use accessibility technology and expert services that
will allow Localogy members, which include technology, media, and
marketing organizations, to better serve millions of local
businesses in the digital age."
