It’s been a date many companies have been preparing for, and it’s now finally here!

The only way to rise back up is to have your site able to be fully responsive across both desktop and mobile sites, and at RS Digital we can help you keep up to date with the algorithm changes Google puts in place.
The Era Of Mobiles
More now than ever people use mobile devices to browse the web, and the way sites run on these devices is completely different to how they run on desktops. Everything might seem okay if the site is running smoothly on desktops, but on a mobile it might be stuttering, crashing and failing to load pages. These issues are obviously going to put people off wanting to stay on the site, or return, and Google have decide that this should be a determining factor when choosing how high websites should rank on their popular search engine service. It’s not a cruel new rule to pull companies under the rug, it’s a way for sites to modernise and help make the user end experience smooth. Plus a mobile friendly site will ultimately benefit the company who has the responsiveness, and people are more likely to make a purchase if they can access all the sites content with ease.
