Why You Need a Mobile Friendly Website
Ad House Advertising LLC knows the smartphone has changed the way consumers go about purchasing products and services. These statistics illustrate an important truth:
- According to data from Global Web Index, a market research firm, in 2015, 80% of internet users were using a smartphone to connect, and that number has grown since.
- Google’s research into local search behavior revealed that 50% of consumers who conduct a local search on their smartphone visit a store within a day.
- In 2015, Google began using an algorithm that rewards mobile friendly websites in search, while penalizing non-responsive websites.
- 61% of smartphone users say that if they don’t immediately find what they’re looking for on a website, they will leave. 74% say they will return to the site later if it’s mobile friendly.
If your business wants to reach the majority of internet users that are on mobile, you will need to have a mobile friendly website. If you want your business website to show up in Google search results, you will need to have a mobile friendly website. And if you want potential customers to search for and visit your store, you will need to have a mobile friendly website.
Conventional websites look awful on mobile devices and are difficult to navigate, resulting in a poor user experience. In turn, a poor user experience is penalized by Google with poor organic search results and higher search advertising costs.
