How Mobile SEO Can Improve Your User Experience and Conversion Rates
With more than 1.22 billion smartphones and 176 million tablets shipped globally in 2024, it is no surprise that more people are accessing content on their mobile devices, making mobile search engine optimisation (SEO) a necessity. When your website is mobile friendly, it is designed for success, creating a seamless connection with your audience.
Mobile devices account for around 60% of all internet traffic. Users are using their smartphones and tablets to browse the internet, shop, conduct research, and more. More and more consumers are relying on their smartphones to interact with brands.
If your website isn't mobile optimised, you could be missing out on a high volume of potential customers.
Google has already seen the up-tick in mobile users and has shifted its focus to mobile-first indexing. This means the search engine giant is not using the mobile version of a website to determine the ranking in search results. When your website is not mobile friendly, your ranking in search results could take a knock, making it harder for your potential customers to find you.
When you have an effective mobile SEO strategy in place, you improve your online visibility and increase organic traffic.
A website optimised for mobile SEO offers a seamless and enjoyable user experience. When your visitors have to scroll, zoom, and pinch, they are likely to leave your site frustrated. An optimised website is responsive, adapting to various screen sizes, improving website navigation, and improving user experience and engagement.
Mobile users expect your website to open at a lightening speed with the majority expecting your site to take three seconds or less to load. At Genie Crawl, we recommend aiming for a one to two second loading time, ensuring you provide a first class user experience to your mobile visitors.
When visitors can navigate your website seamlessly on their mobile device, engaging with it with ease, they are more likely to take action. This can be a purchase, a subscription, or completing a contact form.
