Accesserty Signal
See traceable certifications, accessibility statements, and ALLY maintenance records in Google and Bing results. When a page creates a barrier, report it without leaving the page.
Add traceable context before you open a result
Accessibility certifications, site statements, and maintenance records live across separate sources. Signal brings supported matches into the search results, so you do not have to investigate every site first.
Each signal means something different: ALLY is a reviewed active-maintenance record, Certified comes from a supported certification source, and Statement links to the site's own accessibility statement.
When you encounter an accessibility or usability barrier, choose the issue types and submit the current page. Maintainers can review relevant reports in Console after verifying their domain through Pulse.
Signal only displays supported public records it can match. It does not rerank results or judge a site's accessibility. No signal is not evidence that a site is inaccessible.
When Signal is useful
- Choosing which result to open
Check whether a result has a supported certification, accessibility statement, or maintenance record before deciding whether to open it.
- Reporting a barrier you experienced
Submit a concrete report from the current page so it can enter Accesserty's review flow and, for verified domains, reach the site's maintainer.

How site maintainers can claim Signal reports
Signal helps general users notice and report accessibility signals. Site maintainers who want to review reports for their own domain need to verify the domain through Pulse first.
- Register and install Pulse
Register the domain in Console and install the Pulse script. After Pulse receives the first event from that domain, the domain can be treated as verified.
- Review Signal reports in Console
After verification, Signal user reports for that domain appear in Console. Maintainers do not need to claim from the search result page.
- Apply for ALLY when ready
If the site is actively maintaining accessibility, apply for ALLY in Console. Approval adds a reviewed maintenance signal to Signal; maintainers must keep handling reports, and the status may be revoked if active maintenance does not continue.

Frequently asked questions
Accesserty Signal is a browser extension that shows traceable accessibility signals beside Google and Bing results, including public certification records, accessibility statements, and Accesserty ALLY active-maintenance records.
It is completely free on the Chrome Web Store and works on Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome and Edge.
Signal matches public certification records from supported sources, accessibility statements published by sites, and currently approved Accesserty ALLY records for verified domains. ALLY represents an ongoing maintenance commitment and report-handling workflow, not an accessibility certification, and the status may be revoked when maintenance does not continue. These signals do not guarantee that an entire site or every page is accessible. No badge only means no supported record was matched.
Yes. Signal sends your user-initiated issue types, current page URL, browser information, and optional contact email to Accesserty. Maintainers who have claimed and verified that domain can review reports in Console. A report does not guarantee a response or resolution.
