The Deadline is Near, but is it the End?
We’re a little under a week away from the April 21st mobile search deadline and we know that you’re thinking, “This is the end!” And if this was Penguin/Panda, we’d be right there with you, screaming that the sky was falling and everything (non-mobile) was coming to an end. However, It’s not.
What We Learned from Yesterday’s AdWeek Chat
Our Day at Bing Ads Connect
On January 21st, our Marketing team (Brenda, Rachaelle, and Ryan) made its way to the Bing Ads Connect event at the Venture Hive in Miami. It was a great experience and we learned a lot, here are a few of the highlights from our trip!
The Importance of Brand Identity
Without delving into a deep thesis on the basis of human interaction, I think it’s safe to say that people want to feel a sense of community. We, as consumers, tend to define ourselves based on what groups we belong to and what products we buy. Are you a Mac or a PC? Do you drink Coke or Pepsi? Any big fan of Coke will have plenty of reasons as to why they won’t drink Pepsi and vice-versa. We tend to find ourselves segmented into niches of things that we like.
Enter: Brand Identity
Today Google announced a new feature that will let search users see whether or not the site they’re about to click on is “mobile-friendly.”
Now, you’re probably asking “what does mobile-friendly mean?”
Well, Google says that a site needs to meet the following criteria in order to be labeled as mobile-friendly:
-
Avoids software that is not compatible with mobile devices (i.e. Flash)
-
Text is easily readable without needing to be zoomed in
-
Content is sized to fit your screen so that your users don’t have to scroll horizontally or zoom
-
Links are displayed in a way that can be easily clicked on
