On April 21st of 2015 Google rolled out its new search algorithm that is designed to reward mobile-friendly websites with higher search rankings, essentially punishing those that are not mobile-friendly. Due to the perceived SEO fall out of sites that aren’t currently mobile-friendly, some in the industry have coined this new Google algorithm update with the term “Mobilegeddon.”
So what, if any, impact will this have on your site — and seeing that the algorithm has been live for a month now — what impact has it already had on other websites?
