I know, I know… you’re probably thinking, “I have a website that looks cool on a desktop, why should I care it’s optimized for mobile devices?”
Well, Here are 3 Things You Need to Know about Updating Your Website to Include Mobile Optimization:
1) If your site isn’t mobile-friendly, you’re missing out on potential leads and ultimately your business will suffer! Websites that don’t work well on smartphones will not perform well from the latest Google algorithm update. Google updated it’s algorithm in favor of websites that look and perform better on mobile devices. Ultimately, these sites are ranked higher on Google’s search results. You need to think about if your site is readable, responsive and if it uses non-mobile friendly software (e.g. Flash).
More people are using their mobile devices to search on the web. According to the latest data from eMarketer, Americans in 2013 were using their mobile devices the same number of hours as they were using their desktops and laptop. Now, that number has gone up to 51% of mobile time verses 41% of time used on laptops.
Last May, Google announced more Google searches take place on mobile devices than on computers in 10 countries including the US and Japan.
Wow!
So… knowing this, it’s time to make sure your site is up to code with Google’s requirements for high quality mobile optimization.
