Ted Schadler says, “Customer are mobile first. Is your website? Are all your webpages?

Google did something important for your customers today: it changed its ranking algorithm for searches on smartphones. If Google deems your web page mobile-unfriendly, then it will be devalued in the search rankings. Your page will be buried.

My colleagues Mark Grannan, Jennifer Wise, Deanna Laufer, Peter Sheldon, and I capture the problem and how to fix it in a new Forrester report: Don’t let this good crisis go to waste — use it to convince your company to make the mobile mind shift and invest in mobile-friendly experiences. I summarize the report here.

1. The digital world is web.

With 177 million active websites in the world and enterprises reporting 268 websites (with sometimes 10s of thousands of webpages), this amounts to 10s of billions of webpages that are either mobile-friendly or not. This is not a small problem. It’s a problem with global scale and complexity”.
