Government has the answers. Citizens just can't find them.
State and local governments publish thousands of pages of useful content — permits, services, tax information, public records, meeting minutes. But fragmented navigation, siloed department sites, and keyword-only search mean citizens still call for answers that are already online. Every avoidable inbound call costs $7–$12. Most are preventable.
38–60% of inbound 311 calls are about information already on your website — citizens just can't find it fast enough to self-serve.
Content is fragmented across dozens of department microsites, legacy CMS portals, and document libraries with no unified search layer.
ADA Title II now requires WCAG 2.1 AA digital accessibility from all state and local government entities by 2026 — CMS-native search rarely passes.
FOIA and Open Records requests consume significant staff time on content that is already public and could be self-served if properly indexed and searchable.
Staff lose 1–2 hours per day hunting for policies, forms, and procedures across shared drives, intranets, and disconnected systems.
Built for the realities of government IT — not the wishlist.
Keyspider was designed for lean IT teams, fixed procurement budgets, and compliance requirements that can't be waved away. Accessibility, security alignment, and multi-audience access control are built in from day one — not optional add-ons.
Citizen self-service that actually deflects calls
Keyspider surfaces direct, cited answers to citizen questions from your published content — permits, services, tax details, utility information, public notices. When citizens find answers instantly, call volume drops. Average reduction: 38% within 90 days of go-live.
Unified search across every department
One Keyspider instance connects every department website, document portal, and microsite. Citizens get one search bar that covers Planning, Tax, Parks, Utilities, and the Clerk's office — without IT managing separate search configurations per team.
FOIA & Open Records readiness
Public meeting minutes, ordinances, budgets, and development applications become instantly self-searchable by any citizen. Role-based access keeps restricted and draft documents invisible to public queries while keeping them accessible to authorised staff.
ADA Title II + Section 508 compliant
Keyspider's search UI meets WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 out of the box — full keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and compliant contrast ratios. Passes third-party accessibility audits. No custom dev work required to meet the 2026 DOJ mandate.
NIST 800-53 aligned security
Architecture aligned to NIST 800-53 controls — the standard required for US state and federal cloud procurement. US-only data residency available. Your content and citizen queries are never used to train AI models.
FERPA & CIPA for K-12 districts
When your remit includes school districts, Keyspider handles it. FERPA-compliant access controls and audit logging protect student data. CIPA-aligned content filtering for school portals. Students, parents, and staff each see only what they should.
