It's been true for awhile ... your website must be mobile friendly and responsive to reach more people. The latest Google change means websites that are not mobile friendly will rank lower than those that are. The new algorithm launches this month.

More than half of web searches are on mobile.mobiletricycle

That's why Google (yes, they're in charge) is revising their algorithm to reward websites that are mobile friendly, and ding those that aren't.

Webmasters are warning this latest update will affect a significant number of websites and businesses, far more than the previous Panda and Penguin updates.

Problem? Or opportunity?

For many people, going mobile means rebuilding a website. If you're on a common platform like WordPress, you could get away with a "reskin" to an updated, mobile-friendly template. Either way, it means change is essential.

Now's the time. You can't avoid it.

Turn this potential crisis into an opportunity to rethink your website from a vistor's point of view. You'll improve response and results.

  • Does your site draw visitors in with strong, on-point visuals and copy?
  • Does it state on the home page what you offer and why someone should care?
  • Are you clear about "what's in it for me?" from your audience's point of view?
  • How's the language--straightforward, conversational and engaging or wordy, complicated and full of buzzwords?

We have recently redesigned a number of websites to transform how each company is presented. Bold visuals, simple and direct messages, large text and open layouts draw visitors in and generate response. Isn't that what you want?

Here are a few examples:
