More Google Searches On Mobile Devices Than On Desktop Platforms

As many of you probably already know, Google has already put into place a new algorithm that will rank websites with responsive design higher in Google rankings than websites with no mobile presence. The reason is that more and more people are conducting Google searches on mobile devices than on desktop platforms. This information is very important to businesses that rely on keyword searches and Google rankings to bring in new business.

Below is a quote from Google explaining how the change will effect all current websites.

Starting April 21, we will be expanding our use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal. This change will affect mobile searches in all languages worldwide and will have a significant impact in our search results. Consequently, users will find it easier to get relevant, high quality search results that are optimized for their devices.

If your site isn’t fully optimized for mobile devices, you will likely see a hit to your ranking on mobile searches. Most people have referred to this date as “Mobilegeddon.”

If you are one of the few who has a website that is not optimized for mobile devices, never fear.  Help is just around the corner. Contact SMD today to begin to build your mobile presence and start generating new leads with improved SEO rankings through Google searches on mobile devices.
