Your mobile version of your website now matters more than your desktop version. In 2018, Google made a major shift in how they SEO rank your website. They moved to a mobile-first indexing. This means that they use your mobile version of your website to rank it in your search results. This change makes sense because more than 50% of traffic worldwide is from mobile devices.
What does this mean for SEO?
With this move by Google, it puts emphasis on having a website that has a responsive design. This means that the design of your website looks good and loads quickly on any type of device that it is viewed on.
