Mobile SEO

Not too long ago, Google switched to a mobile-first index, meaning they use the mobile version of your site for ranking and indexing.

Acutally, the last time I hung out with Gary, he was whipping through data sources and maps and census information and a thousand sites I had barely enough time to jot down (despite spending almost an hour in front of his laptop in the San Jose speaker ready room).
