Earlier I have predicted that Google will make mobile-friendly version a factor to rank sites. Today with this announcement Google made it clear. From last few months Google was working towards this step.
When Google introduced mobile friendly site testing tool with an official set of mobile-friendly site criteria, I was clear that they will soon make mobile friendliness a factor to rank sites. Google said It will be ranking signal in future.
I recommend everyone to test their websites on Google’s mobile friendly site testing tool before April 21st and if your site passes this test then you need not to worry about anything.
In case if your site do not pass the test then this tool will recommend you the improvements you need ot make on your site. You can also use Mobile Usability Report on Webmaster Tools account to get list of mobile usability issues across your website.
