On April 21st Google are making changes to their algorithm that WILL affect your website and where it ranks on mobile devices. Google have stated on their webmaster blog that if your website isn’t mobile friendly it will not show up on Google search results when people search for your keywords.

We have made an easy to understand info-graphic (below) that explains why Google are making the changes and what needs to be done to make sure you rank on Google!
