Two Resources for Mobile Optimization

Posted by Erin Meyer

The significance of mobile friendly search has been an SEO focal point for awhile now, and the importance of this trend seems only to be getting stronger. As we recently reported, 57% of users are accessing search engines using a mobile device, and a quarter of U.S. users report using only their mobile devices for online search. Google has remained in front of this trend, rolling out yet another update this month, aimed at helping mobile users find more relevant and mobile-friendly pages. If you have not yet optimized for mobile, now is the time.

If you are in need of assistance with developing a mobile-friendly site, Google has made two helpful tools available, which you can access at any time: the Webmaster Mobile Guide and the Mobile-Friendly Test. These easy-to-use resources provide guidance on how to improve or begin developing your mobile site.
