Are you ready?

The mobile Internet is no longer something you can ignore. With the number of Internet devices averaging 4.8 per person in the UK, multi-device browsing is here to stay.

It’s already affecting your business, and it’s about to impact it even more as from 21 April Google will penalise websites that aren’t mobile friendly. This means it will list them below similar, mobile-friendly websites. 

Google has provided a handy testing tool to let you check how mobile-friendly your site is. If this tool gives you the green light, then you’re all set for the changes on 21 April. If you’re not, it’s likely you will see a drop in the traffic you receive from Google.
