Optimizing Your Business Website for Mobile Users Made Easier

- Advertisement -

If you want your business website to reach more prospective customers, then you cannot ignore mobile users. Your leads and prospects are spending more and more time on their smartphones searching for information and new products and services. In fact, more Google searches now take place on mobile devices than on desktop computers in the United States.Optimizing Your Business Website for Mobile Users
The mobile web has become so important that Google released a mobile-friendly update in April 2015. This update is designed to boost the rankings of mobile-friendly web pages on Google’s mobile search engine results pages (SERPs).
Following the mobile-friendly update, apps also started to appear as organic links in Google’s mobile SERPs. Apps now feature prominently on Google’s mobile search results if they’re deemed relevant to the user’s query, whether or not the app is installed on the user’s device.

The Importance of Responsive Web Design
As your leads and prospects are searching on a growing number of devices for information that will influence their purchase decisions, it is vital that your business website displays content responsively. Websites that adjust their content seamlessly to fit the screen sizes of different devices are following the principles of responsive web design.
Responsive web design gives users an optimal viewing and interactive experience—including easy reading, scrolling, clicking, and navigation. If your business website is not responsive, then Google will not display your web pages to its mobile users, even if your content is relevant to their search queries. This can lead to a significant dip in the organic traffic to your website, which in turn will negatively impact your conversions and sales.
To prevent any losses, consider upgrading your website to make it responsive. If you’re an SMB on a tight budget, consider outsourcing the website upgrade to a reputable web designer or web design company.

To drive targeted mobile traffic to your business website, you’ll need to tweak your mobile SEO (search engine optimization).

  1. Perform mobile keyword research and create content specific to mobile audiences.

You can use paid and free tools for mobile keyword research, including BrightEdge and SEMRush. By expanding your keyword portfolio, you can increase your organic search footprint and drive more relevant traffic to your business website.
To help you understand the difference between desktop and smartphone search intent on your website, you should access your Search Console data in Google Analytics. You can separate mobile from desktop clicks by selecting Devices > Compare Devices.
