Survey: SMBs not mobilly optimized
In the mobile space viewability is key, but a new survey from vSplash finds many small businesses not only aren't optimizing their sites for mobile, they're also leaving important information off their homepages.
According to the vSplash SMB DigitalScape report most (98%) of small business websites aren't optimized for mobile viewing. With more consumers in the mobile space and new mobile devices launching this is a potentially big problem for businesses who need to engage and convert more shoppers.
"Some experts are predicting smartphones and tablets will account for around one-third of all website visits this coming holiday shopping season," said Umesh Tibrewal, CEO, vSplash. "According to our current data, nearly all SMBs will be challenged to capitalize on this mobile commerce opportunity due to their incompatible websites."
Some interesting takeaways from the report include:
• 76% of SMB website don't have a privacy policy, which could means search engines will not index them
• 44% of SMB homepages don't include phone numbers
• 78% don't include Facebook links
One new options in the mobile space should help mobile businesses - both small and large - better compete.
