Is your site ready for Google’s Mobile-Friendly update this coming April 21st? Google has been encouraging site owners to provide a better mobile experience to users. This is because more and more online consumers and marketers are using mobile devices to access the internet. Here are some tips to prepare your site for Google’s upcoming update:
1. Improve Searcher Experience
Make it easier for mobile users to search for your site. Improve page speed as it can factor in your ranking, and fix common errors as listed by Google. If you have an app, add deep linking to your app. Optimize your website for search using mobile assistants like Google Now. Add relevant structured data to your website that can provide instant answers for users’ queries.
2. Make your mobile site experience more additive
Don’t just simplify your platform, make your content more accessible on mobile. Moreover, take advantage of the many technologies that smartphones have (that laptops or desktops don’t) like easily accessible cameras, microphones, accelerometers and GPS. Google has managed to use these to improve search experience (GPS-based search, voice search, Google goggles, etc.) and you can also incorporate these features to your website to gain advantage over your competitors
3. Adapt early
Keep track of trending technologies and adapt your website for these. Don’t wait too long to draft your site.
