You want your business to succeed and trump your competitors right? We all do. One way to ramp up your game is to make sure your website is compatible with mobile devices like android and iPhones.
Here's two insights
The importance of having a mobile-friendly website
How to ensure your website is mobile-friendly
It’s an important question to ask yourself in today’s tech savvy world. If your business hasn’t adapted it's site for mobile use, then you are leaving money on the table. People want to find you through their smart phones. According to Google, 72% of consumers are looking for mobile-friendly sites. It is time to check the status of your website and here is why:
Google Really Does Care
Early this year Google recently announced that they will be assigning a lower Google mobile ranking to any website that hasn’t integrated a mobile-friendly design. With over 80% of all adults now owning smartphones and the use of mobile devices and smart phones increasing rapidly, your site needs to be compatible with the bulk of the mobile world, right there in everyone's pocket.
Online Traffic Is Moving To Mobile (mobile-friendly)
Stated by the Global Web Index, 75% of Internet users went online via a mobile device at the end of 2015 and this number will continue to rise as mobile takes over desktop use. Likewise, about 56 % of consumer traffic to the top websites is now from mobile devices according to SimilarWeb’s State of Mobile Web US 2015 report. So if your site is not mobile-friendly, you are leading your potential traffic to your competitors front door.
Mobile Friendly Sites Support Local Business
If your business is local, you want to be found by the people within close proximity of your location. Google reports that 1/3 of mobile searches have local intent and that can either help or hurt your business whether or not you are doing well on mobile. It is also important to factor in that 18% of a local search on smartphones leads to a sale as compared to non-local searches that account for 7 percent*. There's a great site called TLC: The Local Connection that really helps locals in Selwyn do this!
Do I Pass?
There are several ways to see if your site is mobile-friendly. Take the Google Mobile-Friendly Test. This test will look at your page URL and report if the page has a mobile-friendly design. Take the Google Mobile-Friendly Test here: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/.
Do A Health Check or a Warrant Of Fitness On Your Website
Ask yourself these questions when reviewing your site on a mobile device:
Does it load in less than three seconds?
Does it draw attention to your brand’s message?
Does it link to your social media profiles?
Is the content easy to read?
Are the landing page and inside pages easy to navigate?
Is it a website you would stay on if it was not your own?
If you answered no to any of those questions... Hire A Web Developer/Designer
