The big news is happening over here at SpiderSavvy this morning! If you haven’t heard, Google’s new initiative to help businesses go mobile officially launched earlier this morning, and we have been honored to partner with them!

SpiderSavvy has partnered with Google to help launch GoMo, a nationwide initiative providing businesses with the tools and resources they need to create mobile websites.

“We are excited to work with Google to educate businesses about the benefits of the mobile web and offer solutions to enable them to convert their websites to mobile,” said Dennis Mink, VP of Marketing. “Most business owners don’t understand the difference between a website and a mobile-optimized website and how it can help them increase sales and revenue. So offering the education and the solution is key to driving adoption amongst businesses.”

With the rapid adoption of smartphones, the mobile web presents a real opportunity for businesses that enhance their mobile website presence. “Research shows that customers are more likely to search for information about a company first on their mobile devices or smartphones and get turned off if that website isn’t optimized for mobile.”

  • U.S. smartphone users will 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 via a mobile device.
  • Sixty-one percent of users called the business, and 59 percent visited after looking up a local business on their smartphone.
