Google released a change to its algorithm that gives higher search scores to sites it deems “mobile-friendly.” Google plan on boosting the ranking of mobile-friendly pages on mobile search results so as to make it easy for searchers to find high-quality and relevant results where text is readable without tapping or zooming, tap targets are spaced appropriately, and the page avoids unplayable content or horizontal scrolling. So if your site isn’t Mobile-friendly, well, Google will lower your SEO ranking.
Curious website owners might be asking they could be sure their site is mobile-friendly. Easy! Visit Google’s mobile-friendly test link and enter your site’s address (e.g http://innovation-village.com). Google will then analyze your site and declare it mobile-friendly or not.
If your site failed Google’s test, there may be a significant decrease in mobile traffic from Google Search. Using an older theme that’s not responsive could be the cause. Responsive themes change their layout slightly when someone visits via tablet or mobile phone to ensure that important content like the site title, post titles, and post content can be read on smaller screens But not to worry, once your site becomes mobile-friendly, Google will automatically re-process your pages.
