Did you know that a big factor in your Google website rankings has to do with getting optimized for mobile? If your site is not mobile-friendly, chances are that you are missing a huge chunk of potential visitors. Mobile viewing, whether by cell phone or by tablet, is only going to continue to grow. It is up to you to make sure that you are ready for this new development in business technology. If you plan on ranking for organic keywords on Google, you need to have a mobile site.
Get Mobile Friendly With Mack Media
Get to the point quickly
People are coming to your site from their mobile device to find information; they aren’t necessarily interested in the look-and-feel or in large images, which can also slow down the loading process of the page. Users want information, and they want it now. You need to keep this information in mind when designing a mobile site.
Make sure you check different platforms
Just as you would check different browsers to compare the look-and-feel of your site on desktop, you need to check more than just your iPhone for your mobile site. Try Samsung, Nokia, and other major competitors for iPhone to ensure the site translates to all platforms. Sometimes one layout will look great on a certain device, but it may have formatting issues on another. Be thorough.
Check your competitors
What are successful people in your industry doing for their mobile site? Don’t replicate, but use these sites as a guideline for your own efforts. Pretty soon you’ll be outranking your competition and capturing valuable internet leads.
Use a “dot-m” web address
Google will recognize “m.yourwebsite.com” as a different website from “yourwebsite.com,” thus ensuring that Google sees your mobile site. This is particularly helpful in optimizing for mobile. It’s not a requirement for mobile-readiness, but it’s a helpful method in today’s mobile website world.
The team at Mack Media knows how to make these adjustments and more to your website. It’s our job to make sure your business gets noticed. With a great mobile site, it’s more likely to happen.
