April 21st 2015: Google are making major changes to the way they rank websites.

April 1, 2015

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.

Looking at the stats across Technicweb clients sites, iOS (iphone, Ipad) is the second most popular operating system used to browse. This means that if your site isn’t mobile friendly it will massively affect the number of unique visitors that you are getting to your site.

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!

If your website isn’t mobile friendly and you are looking for an option that offers value for money then please do not hesitate to call Technicweb on 0845 301 1198.
