Mobile-Geddon!

On April 21, 2015 Google rolled out their latest update

The "Google Mice Update" stands for "Mobile Cue" which is the Mobile-friendly implementation of mobile search results; this is Google's "cue" for users to click for an enjoyable mobile browsing experience.

This is a BIG DEAL!

People are literally being removed from Google!

 Sites that are not mobile-friendly need to be aware that:
  • The website will most likely disappear from the radar, even when searching for the specific company name, if not optimized for mobile.
  • With the explosion of mobile internet usage, no company can ignore it.
  • We've been saying it for years: mobile is not an option anymore; it's a must have for every local business around the world.

But it's only mobile, you say?

More local searches are performed on mobile devices than desktops and the rate is continuing to grow!

But it's only Google, you say?

Google owns 85.6% of mobile organic searches. They run the show!

Were you Ready? If not...

  • You could lose between 30% and 50% of your organic search traffic.
  • You risk losing your listing completely.
  • Google began favoring mobile-friendly sites over non-mobile-friendly sites starting on April 21st, and rolling it out over the next week.
  • Websites that are not mobile-optimized will be penalized!

Ooops. Now what do I do?
