You’d be making a big mistake if you don’t have a mobile SEO strategy in place yet. One, you’ll be ignoring most of your potential buyers and secondly, due to Google’s algorithm change, your site could be virtually invisible if it’s not mobile SEO optimized.
Indeed, there are multiple search engines such as Bing, Yahoo, Google, Baidu, etc. However, Google is the most important one because it accounts for almost 95% of the mobile search market.

Evolving Search Trends.
How many times have you searched answers for something on your phone, while you are in an official meeting? Do you remember how searching for that coffee or lunch was so much easier amidst the daunting meeting you were a part of? While the answer to these questions is positive, one thing that leads the way is the role content had to play. Keyword-specific content makes it easier to look up things quickly. Given that search bars are completing search words and phrases for people, the content is a game-changer.
Content determines Google Search Ranking
Everyone uses Google regularly for almost everything. Right from searching for information, to buying a product, to getting to a location, but have you wondered why are the results on

Google “reads” a website to determine its content, structure, and link profile, from there it’ll determine the relevance that a website holds for any given search term. In the recent past, Google switched to a mobile-first index, which means it’s using the mobile content of a web page to determine its search engine ranking. Hence, if you still haven’t sorted out your content, your chances of ranking in Google’s top search results are very meek.
Content attracts an audience and mobile search drives sales.
You cannot drive sales without letting people know what you are selling and how. Mobile is even driving presale searches. As per Google, mobile searches for product reviews have increased by 35% over two years. Often mobile searches are location-based or include words like best, top, reasonable, etc. If you want people to buy your products, you need to make sure you include the right search terms to lead them to your site.
Content even supports Artificial Intelligence (AI)

When you create and provide content that is mobile SEO optimized for voice search, you are gaining a competitive edge as 62% of businesses haven’t achieved this yet.
