Mobilegedon
Mobilegedon was defined in April 2015 because Google+ decided it was going to give priority in Google Search for mobile friendly (as defined by Google) websites. There were tests that developers and website owners could use to see how friendly their website is for mobile.
If you are thinking of a getting a new website, look for one that is , at least, mobile responsive. HTML websites are not the website of the future. More people are looking at websites on their smartphone to find places to eat, compare prices or find a business on a map so you have to make sure your website is mobile friendly if you want to have people look for your business on the internet.
Go mobile
Have you heard that Google Search will be recognizing mobile responsive websites in April?
There is a test at https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/ where you can add your URL. It will tell you how mobile responsive your website is and what is holding you back!
For example, some of my images were too large and slowing things down, some CSS code and other things.
Well at the bottom of the page, Google will optimize these images and files for mobile and give you a Zipped file! Wow!
MORE MOBILE
Thanks to +David Amerland for this conversation share from +Padraig Ó Raghaill .
This is true. Why aren’t more authors having an app created that people can download to their phone where they have easy availability to the authors blog and books and chat?
iTunes has Apple magazine apps but there are only 5000 magazines over there. They are easy to create and send out your message there !
The future is mobile so have you even thought about apps for your business.
I have and plan to create a magazine app since I don’t need to know the technology, all i need is to create the content.
Mobile Marketing is here!
According to +Think with Google Study, there are myths about how Mobile Marketing is working right now.
Google, Ipsos MediaCT and Sterling Brands research study from March to May 2014. Survey conducted among 6,000 smartphone users aged 18–54 who have influence in the purchase decision-making process of retail, CPG or tech products and have used the internet to look for shopping-related information.
+Think with Google , Google and Ipsos Media survey found that there are certain myths how people are using smartphones to shop.
Over 50% of people surveyed would check in Google Search on phone for:
1. Price of item in store
2.Availability of item in store
3. Closest store with item in stock
4. Check out what other items are in the store where item is available!
Hello! Looks like people are searching while in the Store so make sure you have lots of information about your specials, product availablity, store hours, location and map. As people are making decision whether to come to your store on phone and when they are in your store, they are looking for more things to buy!
Good lesson for businesses online or offline, if you aren’t mobile responsive and mobile ready, you are losing unknown business!
