Government Services audit hub
Government websites, public services and civic-tech platforms.
Government websites operate under the strictest accessibility, content-clarity and security regimes of any web vertical. In the US, Section 508 and the ADA Title II rule set baseline accessibility requirements; in the UK, the GDS service standard and the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations apply; in the EU, the Web Accessibility Directive applies. The audit profile typically shows excellent security baselines — HSTS preload, DMARC enforcement, DNSSEC, registry-locked names — and varying performance baselines depending on CMS modernization status. Older government sites running on legacy CMS platforms often show severe Core Web Vitals issues; modern services built on GDS-style design systems usually score very well. SEO for government sites is less about ranking competition and more about authoritative-information surfacing — government domains have strong link-graph reputation that benefits the entire site, and structured data with GovernmentService and GovernmentOrganization schema unlocks targeted rich-result eligibility. Email deliverability for government sites is generally strong because the namespace enforces aggressive authentication baselines.
