In April last year we experienced “Mobilegeddon<\/a>” when Google started to change their search algorithms to give preference to websites that were deemed \u201cmobile friendly\u201d.<\/p>\n

Google then announced in May this year that the AdWords platform was going to be revamped by 2017 to be “Mobile First<\/a>“, making mobile ads the primary focus rather than the tacked-on add on it once was.<\/p>\n

Like AdWords, Google Search Console (formerly Google Webmaster Tools) is also adopting a “Mobile First” strategy.<\/p>\n

So what does this mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simply put, Google will start making the mobile version of the site the primary site that will be indexed.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s official blog<\/a> says: \u201cWe understand this is an important shift in our indexing and it\u2019s one we take seriously. We\u2019ll continue to carefully experiment over the coming months on a small scale and we\u2019ll ramp up this change when we\u2019re confident that we have a great user experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

What can you do to avoid a reduction in traffic?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Along with the previous mobile changes mentioned at the start of this Blog, this new change means it is more important than ever to have a responsive website.<\/p>\n

If you already have a responsive design\u00a0you do not have to change anything, but if not, it is highly recommended you upgrade to a responsive design.<\/p>\n

It is also worth noting that if you are considering a mobile only site Google have advised: \u201cIf you are building a mobile version of your site, keep in mind that a functional desktop-oriented site can be better than a broken or incomplete mobile version of the site. It’s better for you to build up your mobile site and launch it when ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
