Being mobile-ready is crucially important, and as more people are now mobile dominant, finally, Google pulled out all the stops in helping businesses that support the mobile user.
All websites ranked in Google will switch to mobile-first indexing in March 2021.
What does this mean and are you prepared and focusing on being mobile-ready? Your website may not rank well when Google goes mobile-first indexing.
Google has announced that in March 2021, all websites will rank organically based on how the mobile version of your website performs.
With this change, your organic traffic will be directly impacted whether or not your customers use mobile regularly. Where you show up on the Google search engine results page will be impacted by mobile website speed, ease of mobile navigation, and what keywords you rank for on mobile.
When was your website built? Was it designed with a mobile responsive or optimized approach?
SEO Is Changing Forever Regarding Being Mobile-Ready
There have been several huge SEO changes over the years. We all know about Panda and Penguin, but the big consumer-facing changes may have an even bigger impact — like Google’s Knowledge Graph. Knowledge Graph optimization is simply the process of helping Google understand what your web page is about. This is the future of search, a fact that became evident after the release of Hummingbird.
The biggest change of all, however, has been the mobile revolution.
Google announced its mobile-first index in November 2016 because they were trying to solve a problem.
Being Mobile-Ready Requires Up-To-Date Technology
If your site is older than 3 – 5 years old and/or you’re unsure of its mobile readiness, your website might not be designed responsively or optimized for a mobile-first world.
