Worrying about a scaled\u00ad down version for mobile users seems like just too much trouble. Today&#8217;s blog is all about why this matters to you and why should you bother with a mobile version.<\/p>\n<p>A bit of background: Mobile sites are versions of your website that can be easily read and used on a small mobile screen. What is readable on a laptop of desktop monitor can be too tiny to use on a small screen. Also, the buttons and fields on your forms become impossible to use.<\/p>\n<p>Why does this matter? Three reasons<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Showing up in search rankings. If you want to be found in a search and appear high in the ranking, you need to have a &#8220;mobile optimized&#8221; site. Google has now included the failure to have a mobile optimized site as a specific reason to lower a website in its search rankings. If you don&#8217;t have a mobile optimized site, you slip lower in the ranking. Slip lower in the rankings and fewer people ever find you in a search.<\/li>\n<p>    <\/p>\n<li>More search and web activity now occurs on mobile devices than standard PC and laptops. If you want attention, you need to be &#8220;mobile ready.&#8221; You can&#8217;t just write off those mobile users- \u00ad\u00adthere are too many of them.\n<\/li>\n<li>If your site is too difficult to use on a phone screen, the user is just going to jump to another vendor. There\u2019s nothing else to say.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So the summary is, if you haven&#8217;t already done so, you need to bite the bullet and get a mobile optimized site. The internet offers too much business to just ignore the issue.<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cache.amp.vg\/msp.amp.vg\/page\/0a96df2e-26a0-4852-970c-3f8e512e02f9\/637378550348650705\/thumbnail.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smaller firms often struggle just to keep up with maintaining a website.
