Did you know that Google and other search engines are beginning to penalize sites that don’t display properly for mobile searchers?

Google announced recently “Starting April 21, we will be expanding our use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal.” Essentially, sites that are mobile-friendly will rank higher than sites that are not. 

The search giant went on to warn: "This change will affect mobile searches in all languages worldwide and will have a significant impact in our search results."  Mobile is the future of the Internet, and if you’re not ready, it could hurt your online marketing efforts.
