Google has made it even more important to have a "Mobile-Friendly" web site. It's been common knowledge for some time that Google has been penalizing web sites that weren't mobile-friendly, but now Google is beginning to reward those that are by alerting users searching within Google that the website they are going to is Mobile-Friendly. Google searches on Mobile Devices will begin to look like this:
So what is Google looking for in a Mobile-Friendly web site?
- Avoids software that is not common on mobile devices, like Flash
- Uses text that is readable without zooming
- Sizes content to the screen so users don’t have to scroll horizontally or zoom
- Places links far enough apart so that the correct one can be easily tapped
So is your web site ready for this change? Don't fall further down the search rankings, get Mobile!
