Is Your Website Mobile Friendly?

Google’s new mobile rule, which will drop your website from the mobile search results if your website isn’t mobile friendly, goes into effect on April 21.

The clock is ticking! It’s time to assess the status of your website.

If you’re not sure whether or not your website is mobile compatible, just click for the Google Mobile Friendly Test, plug in your URL, and find out.

On April 21st, 2015, if your website isn’t mobile-friendly (meaning that it’s easy to navigate and interact with on a mobile device) Google is going to drop the hammer on you. That means that when someone does a Google search on a mobile device, your website will be dropped to the bottom of the search results.

Data Talks

Now, why would Google do something like this? Because when data talks, Google listens. And data is talking loud. Like, for example, the fact that 80% of online adults own a smartphone, or that mobile traffic officially accounts for over 60% of all website traffic.

There’s also the fact that Google is the most popular and powerful search engine in the world, owning nearly 70% of the total search market and an astounding 87% of the mobile search market.

Those are some impressive numbers, and Google doesn’t want to see them drop. That’s why their number one goal is, and always has been, providing the best possible user experience to anyone who comes across their infamous search box. This new rule is just the next step in attaining that goal.

To put it simply, Google sees a majority of the Internet population connecting to the web on a mobile device, so they’re changing the rules to cater to those users. Therefore, you need a mobile compatible website by April 21st, or a big chunk of the Internet population will never even know you exist.
