If you would know my ex girl, you would see google is right. She went on a poop with a freaking phone...

Talking about me, I use phone only for calling.

Re: Is “SEO” Now About Optimizing for “Mobile SEO”?

I would say this is true. Most searches are done on the phone these days. Everyone has a smart phone after all. It's unbelievably convenient for most.

Re: Is “SEO” Now About Optimizing for “Mobile SEO”?

All marketing is about MOBILE.
However Mobile opens new portals of access to the consumer for the business owner.

Those running storefronts MUST become familiar with 'inbound' marketing (not inbox marketing) and proximity detection.
Unfortunately, a business owner must have their feet in both camps, inbound and search optimization.

MOBILE SEO is more about 'dynamic detection' ability of the business owners website to conform to the device in use. SEO, as you know, is controlled by BIG G and their magical algorithms and worse their deep learning AI. That means to organically prevail the business owner must create authority through educational pillar posts. But whose has time to write 10,000 meaningful words! We've got work to do! That means buying eyes and redirecting traffic through paid traffic strategies.
Best resource I have used for SEO optimization in my business is SEMrush.com

Re: Is “SEO” Now About Optimizing for “Mobile SEO”?

The search engines work the same on a mobile device as on a desktop, so the term "mobile friendly" pertains more to website design than it does to SEO.

I've found that a lot of telemarketers selling SEO services don't even know what SEO is, but they are quick to "guarantee" their results. (Except in the SEO world the word "guarantee" doesn't mean you'll get a refund if they don't do what they say, in fact the salespeople don't know what "guarantee" means either because I've asked them LOL.)

I was able to make all my webpages "mobile friendly" (at least according to Google SearchTest) by adding an html tag within the header of my page and another tag in my CSS index.

This is exactly what I want to know

Re: Is “SEO” Now About Optimizing for “Mobile SEO”?

To succeed with mobile SEO today, site needs to at least work on mobile devices. So make sure if mobile visitors get hit with a mini version of your desktop site, you’re in trouble.

I think "AMP" is the best method as previously I used for my website

Re: Is “SEO” Now About Optimizing for “Mobile SEO”?

Couple of years ago Google apparently changed their criteria to favour sites that were mobile friendly in search results.
Know they are saying that sites without a valid security certificate ( green padlock in the search bar) won't get listed at all from later this year.
You will need a url that starts with https:// (not http://).

Re: Is “SEO” Now About Optimizing for “Mobile SEO”?

Google started rolling out mobile first search engine results this April. Sites that are the most mobile-friendly get some type of algorithmic preference (who knows how much) over non-mobile-friendly sites. It isn't good enough to be just mobile-friendly. Sites have to be fast or potential customers will click away. AMP pages are recommended. Google has help information on how to create them. I haven't tackled them yet but they are definitely on my to-do list.

What gets me is the constant need to make pages faster while being expected to add more content, files and tags (MORE CODE) to the same pages. Also, things are becoming more technical. Its hard to keep up with everything including social marketing!

Actually with AMP, this is changing.

Agree
I think you should go with AMP as soon as possible, As I know Google is planning to more focus on voice search in near future.

Re: Is “SEO” Now About Optimizing for “Mobile SEO”?

This is good information. Thanks! Since reading these, I've looked more into SSL and AMP and realize I have some work to do on my site (and it sounds like I'd better do it pretty soon...)

Re: Is “SEO” Now About Optimizing for “Mobile SEO”?

I think "mobile-friendly" pertains to the overall design primarily but you also have to consider how your SEO works in the stacked (mobile-friendly) versions of your site. Gone are the days when you just had a simple page!

Many people transition their sites to https during slower times (not during their busy season) because its normal to experience some loss of sales while the search engines are indexing new https pages that your old pages should be redirecting to. Google's Webmaster Console is a good tool to check to see that your new https pages are being indexed.

Google's Page Speed Insights is a great speed testing tool:

Re: Is “SEO” Now About Optimizing for “Mobile SEO”?

you can't simply make your site responsive and truly call it mobile-ready, you need to understand the basics, how and why - with experiment

Today almost 70% of search engine traffic is from mobile. Optimize your your site for mobile or else you will lose your traffic

Absolutely, many people never look at how their website looks when viewed on mobile. This results in higher bounce rate and less time on page.

About 80% of my traffic is from mobile so I consider the experience essential.

Traffic and sales are different things, and we all know which one is more important.
What people call "SEO" is basically 99% hyped up nonsense.
