4 Reasons Why Your Northern Colorado Company Should Have a Mobile-Ready Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Everyone is on mobile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Everyone, even your mother, is searching online for local businesses. 77% of Americans own a smartphone\u2014and it\u2019s fair to assume that they\u2019re using this little computer in their pocket to research things like local HVAC companies in Fort Collins<\/em> and Italian restaurants near me<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Mobile users behave differently<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mobile users don\u2019t navigate websites like desktop users. If your website with built with only desktop users in mind, this could be hurting your online conversions. Mobile users tend to get most of their information via short videos and images\u2014does your site offer this kind of content?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Google favors mobile responsiveness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For now, Google has begun to favor mobile-ready sites in its SERP rankings. If your site is not mobile-friendly, this could mean lower rankings in a Google search (even if you\u2019re doing everything else right!). As time goes on, websites failing to meet Google\u2019s standards for mobile-friendliness could incur significant ranking penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. A great mobile site sets you apart from the competition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

57% of mobile users say they won\u2019t recommend a business with a poorly designed mobile site. Don\u2019t let your competition steal away potential customers simply because of website aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, make a good impression on any and all potential customers. Outdated, non-mobile sites look unprofessional and make your business seem out of touch with today\u2019s customers. Optimize for mobile and set yourself apart from the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
