How to SEO Optimize Your Website for Mobile-first
Update: Google announced in late November 2021 the speed of webpages will also apply to desktop search in 2022 (no date has been set). What it means is when people search at Google in either desktop or mobile, the page’s speed is part of the ranking. If there are two pages and everything is equal, the faster page will rank higher. This Mobile-first course has been expanded to cover both desktop and mobile. The time to prepare your website is now so you don’t lose valuable clicks, clients and revenue to competitors.
This workshop is led by Andreas Ramos, author of 18+ books on digital marketing. He was the Head of Global SEO at Cisco, where he worked with 44 languages in 85 countries. He also founded three digital agencies (one with 170 staff) and was the head of the digital agency at Acxiom, which did digital marketing for Fortune 200 companies. Andreas has trained dozens of interns and staffers and he brings that knowledge to you this two-hour workshop where you’ll learn about updating your website for Google’s Mobile-first indexing.
Our Goal
In this workshop, you will learn how update your website for Google’s switch to Mobile-first indexing that took place in mid-June 2021, and the coming switch to 100% Mobile-first indexing in 2022. You will get clear examples of what this means and step-by-step actionable tactics that you can apply to your organization’s website, so that you do not experience a radical drop off in traffic. You’ll also see how to measure your website to see if it will be compliant with Google’s standards. Examples, links, and code will be included in the workshop that you can copy, edit, and paste.
Why Update to Mobile-first
Whenever Google rolls out a major core update such as Mobile-first indexing, hundreds of thousands of websites suddenly find their traffic takes a nosedive — and they will be scrambling to triage the problem. Many marketing people may lose sleep and their jobs over their lack of preparation for this core update.
