Google Announces Preference for Mobile-friendly Websites

In case you haven’t heard, on February 26, 2015, Google announced that on April 21st “we will be expanding our use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal”.

This means after April 21st, when you conduct a Google search, the search results will give preference to websites that are mobile-friendly.  Consequently, if you have a website that is not mobile friendly, you will not show up as well in search results.  Read entire Google announcement.
