What is mobile SEO?

Mobile Search Engine Optimisation is simply SEO for mobile devices. It is the process of improving your website content and the way it is displayed on mobile in order for it to be seen higher up in search results.

Improving your rankings brings with it greater visibility, higher mobile traffic and more potential leads.

 

Why is mobile SEO important?

With over half of all website traffic across the world coming from mobile devices, it pays to ensure your website is optimised for mobile. The mobile-first trend is only set to grow, with more and more people choosing to browse the web solely through their phones.

Websites that are ‘clunky’ and hard to navigate via mobile are swiftly getting left behind.

So, if you want to reach this ever-growing audience, you need to ensure your content is mobile-friendly and that it complies with search engine best practices.

What is mobile optimisation?

Mobile optimisation is a continual process involving a range of activities and improvements to your content and mobile site. For example;

  • Optimising titles and headings for relevant keywords
  • Ensuring content is skimmable and not too text-heavy
  • Developing responsive web design that automatically adjusts to different screen sizes
  • Optimising images to improve page load speeds
  • Making menus and buttons easier to navigate via smaller screens
