Mobilgeddon: Is Your Website Mobile Friendly?

As of April 21, 2015 your website’s level of mobile-friendliness matters to Google. It is official that Google has added “mobile-friendliness” as a worldwide ranking factor. It’s time to get mobile-friendly to prevent becoming a victim of Google’s Mobilegeddon Algorithm. Since not being mobile-friendly can hurt your business it is essential that you get it resolved immediately.

What Does Mobile Ready Mean?

Many business owners are asking what does “mobile friendly” mean? Basically your website’s content has to be able to be viewed on a mobile phone, with the options to zoom and pinch. If your site appears to have extremely small text or the pages and links are too close together, preventing users from using your site properly, your site is not mobile ready. Google even offers two tests to see if you are mobile ready. There is the Mobile Friendly Test that will give you a simple yes or no evaluation. The Page Speed Insights test goes deeper into the situation and the results should be taken seriously.

What Harm Can it Do?

Consumers worldwide use their mobile phones to search for valuable information, details, location and much more regarding local and international businesses. If your business does not appear in the search results you will lose business. Ultimately this will affect your income and actually deter consumers from using your service and from learning more about your business. To make this clearer, imagine you own a restaurant that is located near a shopping plaza. The consumers are exhausted after shopping and looking for a place to eat. They quickly conduct a Google search using their mobile phone to see what restaurants are close to their location. Many restaurants pop up from the search, except yours, because it is not mobile ready. You miss out on attracting customers to your restaurant. This is the same for any business and industry. If your competitor is “mobile-friendly” and you are not, you just lost customers easily.
