“Google announced today that they are tagging sites that are mobile friendly which could affect your SEO rankings.”
As we have emphasized so much about effective user experience in class, mobile-friendly websites should be a priority in modern website development. It’s slowly getting to the point that there are more users viewing and browsing websites on their mobile smartphones than on desktop computers. And what happens if the mobile experience is poor?
The user is way less likely to respect your company, brand, or do any business with you.
Now that Google is tagging mobile-friendly websites and could rank them higher on the search engine than sites that are not mobile-friendly, it should be a wake-up call for websites that still have not considered mobile users. Mobile-friendly websites are the winners here, as they will be winning the battle for now, at least in the short run.
