Does your website have a responsive mobile version? Even though mobile

devices have been about many years, not all companies and business

owners have adopted fully functional and responsive mobile versions. Not

every company may rely on traffic coming from mobile device users and

developing a fully functional, responsive mobile version, can require extra

resources. So while it is understandable that not all businesses may have a

mobile-friendly website, the latest upcoming changes, suggested by Google,

are about to change the way business owners think. Google has recently

leaked information which shows all websites with a responsive mobile

version are going to receive bonus ranking points.

It is the next natural step. Today the majority

of people use mobile devices to browse the

Internet. Google always strives to show the

most useful and meaningful content to

users. Therefore, it makes perfect sense

that they will prioritise showing websites,

offering a well-made responsive mobile

version.

Why does Google care about the responsive

mobile versions of websites?

No, it cannot, it can only help you. The desktop version of your website is

completely separate from your responsive mobile version. When a visitor opens

your website from a mobile device, if your website does not offer a responsive

mobile version, the page will simply not fit on the screen. This can be

detrimental, even if your business strategy does not rely on mobile traffic.

Studies show that more than 67.6% of users shop from their mobile device so

there might be quite a few customers you miss out on, unless your website has

a responsive mobile version.

Can mobile optimisation hurt the desktop

performance of my website?

Do not worry! Most Internet users are

unsure of what qualifies as a responsive

mobile version, especially when it comes

to the opinion of Google. Simply put, any

website that can be easily browsed with

mobile devices can be classified as

mobile-friendly. Google, however, tends to

be a bit more strict.

How do I know if my website has a

responsive mobile version?

When examining a website, the Google algorithms take a wide variety of factors into account – page

loading speed, size, images, scripts, the amount of plugins used and more. Manually checking any

website for responsive mobile version can be pretty daunting and therefore a lot of owners opt to not

bother. However, times have changed. Everyone now needs to take a good look at how responsive

their page is. If you are interested in checking if your website offers a proper responsive mobile

version, you can make use of this free website analysis tool. While not completely focused only on

mobile-friendliness, it has one of the greatest website evaluation toolkits available and is absolutely

free.

My website does not offer a responsive mobile

version, should I be worried?

Yes and no. Even though Google will not penalise desktop-only focused websites, all of

those that are properly mobile responsive will gain a boost in their search engine

positions. So ask yourself this – do your competitors have а responsive mobile version

already? Have you checked them out recently? If you are unsure of their situation, you

can make use of this website analysis tool and see how they compare. Knowing what

the competition is doing is always handy in all business areas!

What steps can I take to make my website

more mobile-friendly?

Firstly, evaluate how well your website performs on mobile devices. This means

taking into account all screen resolutions and sizes. Then make sure that the code

and content are optimised properly. Having a good, responsive mobile version of your

website is not a one-time deal. Every single time a new page or piece of content goes

live, it needs to get checked and its mobile compatibility verified. While it can sound

tedious, it soon will allow you to pull ahead of the competition in terms of Google

positions. If you or your team lack the means or time, you can always turn to us for

advice. The Go Live UK mobile website development experts have created and

optimised numerous websites in their over 20 years of experience and are always
