Not Mobile Friendly yet? You're Months Behind!

While the title of the article below is a little bit misleading, it is true that sites that have not made the effort to become mobile-friendly are suffering in search results (notice the date of the post and the date referenced in the post).

If your business hasn't made the effort to help out mobile searchers, you are shooting yourself in the foot. You may not even be showing up on moble devices at all!

You can read the article in full below or check it out in its original habitat on The Next Web here. But if you are looking for a fix, keep reading below:

Google will begin ranking mobile-friendly sites higher starting April 21

26 Feb, 08:15pm in INSIDER

Big changes to Google’s search algorithms are coming: beginning April 21, the company will increase the ranking of sites that are mobile-friendly and surface app results much higher.

The company says that the change will have a “significant impact” on all mobile searches in all languages worldwide, but as a result Google says that users will find higher quality results.

Along with this change, Google will start to use more information from indexed apps as a factor when ranking search results for users that are signed-in and have the app installed.

These changes are great news for mobile users as it should help motivate those sites that still don’t have a mobile site to actually build one. Google started highlighting mobile-friendly sites in results last year.

Site admins who want to test their site’s mobile compatibility can use Google’s tools to quickly evaluate the status of a page.
