Welcome to this week’s social media quick tip. This week I want you to take a closer look at your website.
In the online world, your website is a virtual office location. It showcases who you are and what you do. Your website has seven seconds to make an impression and your patients are making snap judgments based on what they see and read.
Why You Need A Mobile Responsive Website
Firstly most people aren’t looking at your website on a desktop or laptop anymore. They are looking at it on a phone or tablet.
Secondly, Google now gives ranking priority to those sites that are mobile friendly. In fact, Google has stated that it will penalize websites that aren’t mobile-responsive, so if your site isn’t optimized for mobile devices, you’ll likely lose out significantly in the organic search rankings. To check if your site’s design is responsive, enter its URL into this Google tool.
How To Check If Your Website Is Mobile Compatible
Check how your website looks on a mobile device. If you need a magnifying glass to read it then your website is most likely not mobile responsive.
Below are some tips from Search Engine Watch to ensure your website is mobile compatible:
- Use a responsive website design that adapts to mobile devices or create a mobile version of your website that is properly redirected for mobile users.
- Use Google Search Console to add and verify the mobile version of your website.
- Make sure that all the content formats used on your mobile site can be crawled and indexed (check using the txt testing tool ).
- Ensure that content is consistent across your mobile site and desktop site.
- Test your page speed using PageSpeed Insights. If your page is slow, use an auditing tool to find and fix uncompressed content, page errors, and other elements slowing your website down.
