Think most people visit your website on a desktop? Think again. More than half of all internet traffic comes from mobile devices, and Google now ranks websites based on their mobile performance first. If your site isn’t mobile-friendly, your rankings—and your potential customers—are going elsewhere.
What is Mobile-First Indexing?
Google used to rank websites based on their desktop versions. That changed with mobile-first indexing, meaning Google now prioritizes how your site performs on a phone. If your mobile site is slow, hard to navigate, or missing content, it’s hurting your SEO.
Here’s what Google looks at when ranking mobile sites:
- Does the website load quickly on a phone?
- Is the text readable without zooming?
- Do buttons and menus work properly?
- Is the mobile version missing content that’s on the desktop site?
Why Mobile SEO Matters for Your Business
Ignoring mobile optimization is like locking the front door to half your potential customers. If visitors land on your site and it’s a mess on their phone, they’ll leave—fast. And Google takes notice.
A poorly optimized mobile site can lead to:
- Lower search rankings
- Fewer conversions and leads
- Higher bounce rates (people leaving your site immediately)
How to Make Sure Your Website is Mobile-Friendly
Not sure if your site passes the test? Pull it up on your phone and ask yourself:
- Does it load within three seconds?
- Is the text easy to read?
- Are buttons and menus easy to tap?
- Do images and videos resize correctly?
If the answer to any of these is no, your site needs some work.
