Last April, the so-called “Mobilegeddon” hit the search world. Google made algorithm changes so that websites that were mobile friendly ranked higher in search results than websites that were not mobile friendly. While many websites responded to Google’s call to create a mobile friendly site, not all did, and some say the impact of “Mobilegeddon” was quite small.
However, Google has announced another update to its mobile search results that will increase the effect of “mobile friendliness” as a ranking signal. Google has told users that if their website is already mobile-friendly, they “will not be impacted by this update.”
But sites that have yet to become mobile friendly should see this as a another sign that Google will keep favoring mobile friendly websites. The amount of mobile searches is growing every year and the trend only grows faster as the years go on.
If you do not have a mobile friendly website, it might be time for you to reassess your strategy, especially if you rank high in search results. You do not want to see your Google Rankings drop because your site is not mobile friendly. To help people protect their Google Rankings, J. Louis is currently offering a complete mobile website for $499 until the end of May.
