Why You Need A Mobile-Friendly Website

Recently there has been a lot of chatter about Google’s algorithm update, and how it will affect your company’s search rankings. But what exactly does that mean? Amidst the online jargon, the confusion, and the seemingly widespread marketing panic, it’s important to understand, at a B2B level, why exactly a mobile-friendly website will keep your business thriving and relevant.

So, let’s figure out what’s happening and break it down. 

In a nutshell, Google’s algorithm update will allow expansion for their mobile ranking capabilities. Basically, with this update, your site will be labeled as mobile-friendly or not, and Google will then utilize that label to determine where your site should rank in search results.

Therefore, if you do not have a mobile-friendly site, your search rank will be lower than a competitor that perhaps does have a mobile-friendly site. Furthermore, if you already spend quite a bit of time, effort and money to keep your company on top in rankings, foregoing a mobile-friendly site could tank those very same rankings you worked so hard to boost.

So, as a business owner, what can you do to keep yourself in the SEO game?

Avoid the plummet.
