How to Increase Your Smart Phone Search Presence
Mobile searches are becoming the norm, not the exception. Optimizing for mobile as well as computer browsers is becoming a necessity, not a choice. So what can you do to increase your mobile visibility?
- Install Google Webmaster Tools. They’ll be able to tell you right off the bat whether or not your site can be accessed via smart phones.
- Optimize for Local Search. Now that GPS is replacing the need to have physical map books, and most of us can no longer function without it (myself included), it’s crucial to be found.
- Have easy-to-access contact information. Always include your contact information both on your site (in the footer is the cleanest place) and in your meta-description so that mobile searchers can click to either email or call you directly from the SERP!
- Upload your videos to YouTube. Sometimes, smart phones have trouble indexing and loading large sites that don’t already have a specially equipped smart phone counterpart. By uploading a YouTube video, you guarantee that your site can be accessed via mobile devices; plus be found on YouTube!
- Create an App. Apps are expensive to develop. However, they get your name out there the second they’re created!
