Get more mobile-friendly sites on tablet or smartphone with Google

Google thinks you should see more mobile-friendly sites when you search through your mobile devices. That’s why starting April 21, online sites with mobile versions will get higher placements in search result pages. And you’ll see these if you are using a mobile device. It will also parse information from indexed apps if you’re signed in and have them installed on your device. Google has been ranking points for sites with optimized pages for new devices so this change doesn’t come as a surprise. If you want to check if your company or personal mobile site works with Google, you can run it through this test from Google.
