The move to Google's mobile-first index is inevitable. These five tips will help ensure that your site will easily survive the switch.
We all know the Google mobile-first index is coming soon, probably in the next few months or so. To prepare, it seems Google is encouraging webmasters to go responsive with their websites.
Mobile-first indexing means Google will predominantly use the mobile version of the content for
indexing and ranking. Historically, the index primarily used the desktop version of a page's content
when evaluating the relevance of a page to a user's query. Since the majority of users now access
Google via a mobile device, the index will primarily use the mobile version of a page's content
going forward. We aren't creating a separate mobile-first index. We continue to use only one index.
The first question every business must ask should be “is my website mobile-friendly?” To answer that question Google and Bing have provided handy little checkers.
