How will Google’s “mobile-friendly” algorithm impact your website?
On April 21, Google will begin rolling out a worldwide mobile-friendly algorithm update that will have a “significant impact” on mobile search results for mobile searchers. If your site does not pass Google’s mobile friendly test, Google will send you fewer mobile search customers.
There is a test that you can put your website through to see if it is mobile friendly or not. The test results page will specify reasons that the page has been deemed unfriendly, such as small text, link spacing, horizontal scrolling, and other mobile usability issues.
A positive test result means your site should retain its mobile rankings or even increase it’s ranking because sites that were higher than yours in mobile search but now are not mobile friendly will decrease their SEO and push yours ahead of theirs.
To increase and maintain your SEO make sure your website is mobile friendly. The test takes about 60 seconds to find out and it will give a pass-fail response.
