A non-mobile friendly site is not optimized for speedy download and may be virtually impossible to use on a smartphone driving away potential customers. Many will never come back to visit. This is a very serious impact for Google Ad activity. For sites that do not have a mobile-friendly website, conversion numbers are dropping in Google Ads. Mobile activity is a very big part of the conversion path now for sales and leads. WordStream has done a very nice visual on sales, conversions, and cost per conversion in mobile and it is clear that mobile is big business. Without a mobile website you are missing out on a huge sector of growing and converting traffic. For some websites that are not mobile-friendly using Duda Mobile to do a scripted redirect to a Duda Mobile mini site worked &#8211; but no longer. Google Ads is aggressively disapproving ads for our clients that are using this approach and we are now having to remove the code from those websites effectively making them now not mobile-friendly for organic or for pay per click activity. The Organic Picture For organic traffic, know that Google now spiders the mobile version of a website and this is the content that now determines your site&#8217;s organic ranking on Google.com for all devices, not just mobile. By not updating your website to be mobile-friendly Marketing and Growth Hacking says you can kiss your Google rankings good bye. Additionally, Marketing and Growth Hacking states &#8220;Based on the blogs Google is putting out, we can confidently assume companies who don\u2019t optimize for mobile will see their rankings disappear. At the same time, companies who adopt and take advantage of mobile-friendly sites early-on have and will continue to see higher rankings.&#8221; I agree that if you mean to be in business, grow sales, and compete effectively, your website and store must be mobile-friendly.
