Google has stated that if a website is not mobile friendly, this algorithm change will not impact pure desktop search results. However, with the continuing trend showing the ever increasing number of people accessing the internet from mobile devices, it is no longer an option for a business not to assess their need for a mobile friendly site.

How Will This Affect Your Website?

In order to optimize your website’s ranking when clients or customers are using mobile devices, it is imperative to ensure that your website is mobile friendly (as defined and decided by Google) and make any necessary changes as soon as possible. Otherwise you run the risk of loosing your search engine placement across mobile devices.

To assist in preparation, Google has available some tools for use in determining the mobile-friendliness of a website on a URL basis. To test individual pages, you can use the Mobile-Friendly Test. Google’s Webmaster Tools for developers offers the Mobile Usability Report to identify mobile usability issues across a website.
