More About Google's Mobile Update
Google’s mobile-friendly update was first launched in 2015 and improved the search rankings for mobile-friendly websites, only affecting mobile search results rather than tablets or desktops.
This change enabled users to gain more accurate and relevant searches while using mobile devices. Non-mobile friendly websites saw a decline in rankings. However, Google provided helpful resources such as the Mobile-Friendly Test and the Search Console Mobile Usability Report to help them avoid this problem. With these tools, website owners could check their content for mobile-friendly features and implement changes if needed.
