regardless of the kind of device. The layout changes based on
the size and capabilities of the device.
(Use meta name=“viewport” tag to tell the browser how to adjust the
content)
• Dynamic Serving: Server responds with different HTML on the
same URL depending on the user agent requesting the page.
(Use the Vary HTTP header to signal your changes depending on the
user-agent. Detect user-agent strings correctly)
• Separate URLS: Serves different codes to each device and on
different URLs.
Google does not favour any particular configuration as long as the
page(s) or all page assets are accessible to all Googlebot user agents.
You can hire a SEO agency for expertise in your mobile site design.

Mistakes to Watch Out for
and their Recommendations
Faulty Redirects: For example, redirecting to the homepage rather than
relevant content. Use Webmaster tools to find URL errors and fix them.
404 not found errors: Example, if a mobile user is detected and sent to a 404
page because of the device they are accessing on, keep them on desktop
page. If you use serving , ensure that user-agent detection is correctly
configured.
Blocked URLs: When the site’s robots.txt explicitly disallows crawling by
Googlebot for smartphones, investigate the server configuration if you see
blocked URLs reported in Webmaster Tools.
Unplayable video on mobile site: Likely to be a problem on IOS if video isn’t
delivered through HTML5, possibly leading to short clicks. Use HTML5 standards
for animations and video embedding that’s playable on all devices.
