On 4-21-15 Google will start giving more search engine ranking points (e.g. "expanding our use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal ... and will have a significant impact in our search results" as Google likes to say) to websites that are optimized for mobile devices. "This change will affect mobile searches in all languages worldwide." This seems like a powerful statement from Google.


You want your results to look like the screen shot below.

Please try this test and also test your own website.


It is very important for all businesses, and especially small local businesses have their websites look and operate properly on all devices including mobile phones.
