Google to Give Mobile-Friendly Websites Better Search Rankings

That’s right; Google is striving to put mobile users first.

Starting April 21, 2015 Google will be expanding their use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal. This change will affect mobile searches in all languages worldwide and will have a significant impact in Google’s search results.

Why is Google doing this?

Google reports mobile users will find it easier to get relevant, high-quality search results that are optimized for their devices.

What does this mean for Chambers?
