Google announced yesterday that it will provide a new label in mobile search results.
The new label Google is adding to mobile search results is "mobile-friendly," which tells you if the website will provide you with a friendly experience on your mobile device.
Google is trying to help eliminate frustrating experiences on mobile devices, which is commonly a result of a website having tiny text or links, requiring the user to zoom in to see anything and websites using software not common on mobile devices like Flash.
Now, you are wondering how you can find out if your website is mobile friendly. Well, Google has published a hosted tool you can use to check.
In the article Google released yesterday, Google also states that it is looking at mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal, "We see these labels as a first step in helping mobile users to have a better mobile web experience. We are also experimenting with using the mobile-friendly criteria as a ranking signal."
