Use responsive design…

There are many different ways to house mobile content. The best and most favoured way, is however, Responsive design. Gary Illyes of Google mentioned responsive design is hands
down the most preferred design option.

What about mobile landing page redirects?
48

example.com uses responsive web design
no redirects are needed - fast and optimal
example.com → m.example.com/home
multi-round-trip penalty for mobile users
example.com → www.example.com → m.example.com
Very slow mobile experience

The Searchmetrics SSO function allows the usage of a mobile user agent to allow to
audit your site structure.
Here you will be able to see things such as page load times, file sizes and redirects in order
to get yourself ready for the mobile era.
52
Optimise for location based search…

Think like a child…
55
56
In 2014 we found that 36% of mobile web searches were different than their desktop equivalents.
In fact 23% of them were from completely different domains.
This is due to differing user intentions.
