As we probably all know, mobile site usage has skyrocketed in the past decade. But even now in 2023, when mobile usage seems to be old news, mobile SEO is becoming more important than ever. Now that mobile researching is both easier and quicker than any other kind, it’s critical that our sites are mobile-friendly. Afterall, according to Oberlo.com, about 63% of searches on Google are from mobile devices.
So why and how do we best optimize for mobile, especially in 2023 when people have been making sites mobile friendly for quite some time now? Well, first Google will eventually just look at your mobile site and ignore your desktop one for ranking. Of course, your mobile site should already be user-friendly, simple, and customized to those users. But now, in 2023, you might want to spend most of your time (if not all) on making sure your mobiles site is as best as it possibly can be. This means making your site responsive on all devices, setting up viewports that will adapt the website to whatever dimension of a screen, make sure your sight looks nice (good negative space, short/punchy text, readable, eye-catching interactive), avoid popups that are too big (this will hide your content from view), optimize for voice-searching, and ensure that your user doesn’t have to wait too long for your site to load.
Confirmed by Google itself, your site must be mobile-friendly to rank. And now in 2023, with a vast majority of our searching being via mobile devices, it’s essential to keep our sites in optimal mobile shape for our users.
