Google will be using mobile-friendly factors in its mobile search results starting on April 21, 2015, and it will rank mobile apps participating in App Indexing for signed-in users better in the mobile search results starting today.
Mobile-Friendly Web Sites To Rank Better In Mobile Search
Google said that on April 21, 2015, Google’s mobile ranking factors will not only label your site as mobile-friendly, but will also use that to determine if your site should rank higher in the search results. Google said this algorithmic change will have a “significant impact” in the mobile search results, impacting all languages worldwide.
Google said this is expanding on its mobile ranking demotion algorithm launched back in 2013.
Google also said “users will find it easier to get relevant, high quality search results that are optimized for their devices.”
