Mobile SEO for UK E-Commerce: A 2025 Guide

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is constantly evolving. Which you already know from our previous blogs. We have changed from a desktop-first world to a mobile-first world. Google shook up the SEO world with a major update on how they crawl and index website pages, using the mobile version of websites.

When "Mobilegeddon" was introduced in 2015, the SEO landscape was a buzz with excitement, but we never realised the importance of what was going to happen in the future. Google has already been using their mobile-first indexing approach for a few years now, rewarding mobile-friendly websites. Don't worry the desktop version of your website is ranked, based on what the search engine fines during your mobile crawling and indexing.
