Mobile SEO

Do you know what percentage of your users are browsing your site using mobile devices or tablets? While it’s no surprise to hear that mobile searches and browsing have exploded in popularity over the past five years, the fact that many sites remain un-optimised or under-optimised for mobile might raise a few eyebrows. In a competitive marketplace, this could well be the difference between making that sale and losing it.

Optimising for mobile SEO is a relatively new field, and regular advancements are being made. That said, there are three main philosophies:

Responsive Site Design

  • Responsive sites utilise the same code on the same page URLs across both desktop and mobile versions, using CSS to change how the page is rendered across the range of different devices
  • Responsive sites are easy to maintain, reduce opportunities for duplicate content and as they only present one set of URLs are easy for search engines to decipher and index.
  • Blueclaw’s design and development team are specialists in creating fully responsive sites as well as converting existing templates to a responsive version.

Dynamic Serving

  • Responsive sites utilise the same code on the same page URLs across both desktop and mobile versions, using CSS to change how the page is rendered across the range of different devices.
  • Responsive sites are easy to maintain, reduce opportunities for duplicate content and as they only present one set of URLs are easy for search engines to decipher and index.
  • Blueclaw’s design and development team are specialists in creating fully responsive sites as well as converting existing templates to a responsive version.

Separate Mobile Site

  • Unlike dynamic and responsive sites, mobile sites sit on a different set of URLs to the desktop site (for example, http://m.example.com.
  • Separate mobile sites often require less investment and can be entirely tailored to the needs of mobile users, creating a more suitable user journey.
  • Blueclaw’s SEO team is highly experienced in dealing with separate mobile sites and understands the importance of avoiding duplicate content, smartphone-specific 404s, alternative and canonical tag issues and mobile sitemap considerations.
