We have some big news here at SpiderSavvy! This morning, Google officially launched its new initiative to help businesses go mobile, and we are honored to partner with them!
SpiderSavvy has partnered with Google to launch GoMo, a nationwide initiative providing businesses with the tools and resources to create mobile-friendly websites.
“We are thrilled to work with Google to educate businesses about the benefits of the mobile web and offer solutions to convert their websites to mobile,” said Dennis Mink, VP of Marketing. “Most business owners don’t understand the difference between a standard website and a mobile-optimized website and how it can increase sales and revenue. Offering both education and solutions is key to driving adoption among businesses.”
The Importance of Going Mobile
With the rapid adoption of smartphones, enhancing your mobile web presence presents a real opportunity for businesses. Research indicates that customers are more likely to search for information about a company on their mobile devices or smartphones and can be deterred if the website isn’t optimized for mobile.
- U.S. smartphone users are expected to reach 73.3 million by the end of 2011, representing 31 percent of the total mobile user population.
- By 2013, more people will access the web via mobile than desktop.
- According to a June 2011 Manta study, 69 percent of small business owners said it is important for information about their business to be easily found on a mobile device.
- Sixty-one percent of users called the business, and 59 percent visited after looking up a local business on their smartphone.
