The term Mobile first refers to a change in Google’s indexing policy.

Kevin Kuo of IPullRank has published an article compiling the list of every Google update related to mobile first.

He says, “It is estimated that around 54.2 million Americans browsed mobile internet while watching their televisions in 2018, up from 46.7 million in 2016. On average, Americans aged between 25 and 34 spend around 3.75 hours browsing on their smartphone each day – it’s safe to say that mobile has arrived in a big way.

March 2021 is the deadline for mobile first

Google has announced that mobile-only indexing will be going live in full as of March 2021. While this form of indexing has already been implemented, this is the concrete date by which all content needs to be accessible on mobile.

Any content that is visible only on a desktop device will be ignored by Google’s crawling and indexing algorithms, rendering it unreachable via search engines”.
