    Hello all,

    Had this email come across my inbox this morning from Google:



    Mobile-first indexing enabled for
    https://www.professional-piano-services.com/

    To owner of https://www.professional-piano-services.com/,

    This means that you may see more traffic in your logs from Googlebot Smartphone. You may also see that snippets in Google Search results are now generated from the mobile version of your content.

    Background: Mobile-first indexing means that Googlebot will now use the mobile version of your site for indexing and ranking, to better help our (primarily mobile) users find what they're looking for. Google's crawling, indexing, and ranking systems have historically used the desktop version of your site's content, which can cause issues for mobile searchers when the desktop version differs from the mobile version. Our analysis indicates that the mobile and desktop versions of your site are comparable.



    So, now if you want your SEO to be up, your site IS REQUIRED to be mobile friendly. This applies to both your website and the PTG's site if I understand correctly. In my opinion, it's about time this change takes place. So many websites are way outdated, yet still promoted on a natural SEO.

    Just thought I'd point this out. If any of you need help redesigning your website or designing a new one, just let me know. I'd be happy to help if I can.
