At some point, Google will become Mobile only

issues with Mobile optimisation & conversion

If you’re a publisher or blog, AMP would be  
the best option a a Mobile strategy

To deliver a faster Mobile Web experience
Mobile Responsive Non-AMP Mobile AMP

While increasing your Mobile search visibility
AMP article rich results 
Can be free-standing in the results
page, or embedded in a carousel of
similar result types. All AMP article
rich results are also rich results.
AMP non-rich results 
A basic, non-graphical search result
pointing to the AMP page.

Check out my AMP presentation 
for more tools, examples & scenarios
http://www.slideshare.net/aleydasolis/
setting-amp-for-success-at-digitalolympus

You can start by verifying if your site has a mobile
version using Chrome’s “Device Mode”
bit.ly/chromedevicemode

Check if there are errors identiﬁed in the  
Mobile Usability report of Google Search Console

As well as with Google’s Mobile Friendly Test
https://search.google.com/
search-console/mobile-friendly

You can do it at a massive scale using URL Proﬁler

To easily identify which are not yet  
Mobile friendly and why

Simulate the Googlebot for Smartphones  
& crawl your site enabling JS rendering
Screaming Frog

Verify that the mobile crawler access  
the same than your users

Identify if there are non-relevant redirects,  
canonicalisation or crawling issues

Your Mobile Web content  
should be also optimised

Although for Mobile,  
it’s ok to hide content

It’s critical to facilitate its access  
avoiding pop-ups & interstitials

Don’t do this!

Show an App Banner instead
https://developer.android.com/
distribute/users/banners.html

Verify if your mobile content  
is eﬀectively rendering

Validate how your optimised pages  
are going to be shown in Mobile SERPs
serpchecker

answers the identiﬁed mobile queries
Schedule

Reservations
Photos & Reviews
Ratings

queries rank & convert better

ones, with the expected traﬃc & conversions

Assess the gap and opportunities between the
mobile & desktop ranked pages & queries

A mobile targeted SEO process will allow you  
to achieve this type of results

Maximise your
Visibility with  
SERP Features

Besides improving your rankings, SEO is now also
about maximising visibility via SERP Features

Verify which queries are giving you more
visibility already with images, videos & snippets

Identify which queries and functionalities are
already bringing more visibility to competitors
SEMrushAhrefs

Which are the speciﬁc queries that you should
target with each SERP feature

Start using structured data to specify the
meaning of the supported content
https://developers.google.com/search/
docs/guides/intro-structured-data

In addition of rich snippets, they can also give  
extra visibility on mobile results with Rich Cards

You can validate and visualise the result with
Google’s Structure Data Testing Tool

Tracking your SERP Features vs. your competition,
along rankings & traﬃc to prioritise
SEOmonitor

To expand your search results visibility  
& maximise your CTR

Become Secure with
HTTPS

https://letsencrypt.org/stats/
More than 50% of the loaded by
Firefox are using HTTPS

bit.ly/mozhttps
HTTPS is becoming the de-facto standard  
of the best ranked pages too

It’s about giving security and trust to
your users

The perfect opportunity to start migrating
towards HTTP/2 and improve your Web speed
bit.ly/http2seo

Besides giving an additional  
positive ranking signal

The goal is to migrate your rankings and traﬃc  
from your HTTP URLS to your HTTPS ones

Without traﬃc drops

Instead of this!

#seo2017 in #CCDK17 by @aleyda from @orainti bit.ly/httpsmigration
It’s key to follow certain steps & best practices  
for an eﬀective HTTPS migration process

Making sure to consistently canonicalize
and refer to your HTTPS URLs
301 Redirects Canonicalization Internal Linking
XML Sitemaps
Inclusion
HTTPS

You can monitor the activity by creating proﬁles  
in Google Search Console for your HTTPS domains

It’s important to avoid mixing HTTPS migration
with other structural changes

If you use CDNs you should activate HTTPS also  
in the subdomains you have as zones

http://searchengineland.com/chromes-devtools-
seo-10-ways-use-seo-audits-266433
Be careful if you’re hotlinking, all resources
(images, css, js) should be moved to HTTPS
NO

If you use Wordpress, there are plugins that will
facilitate the implementation
https://es.wordpress.org/
plugins/really-simple-ssl/

Validate the SSL certiﬁcate status once
implemented to check for issues
https://www.whynopadlock.com/

Create a list of your top visibility & converting
pages to be prioritised in the validation

Crawl the migrated site emulating both the  
mobile as well as desktop Googlebots

Verify if there are URLs in HTTP that are  
still linked and their status code

If the 301 redirects, canonical tags & links have  
been eﬀectively implemented & updated
NO

… that they are redirecting to the relevant
and indexable HTTPS URLs in each case
NO

Check out my HTTPS presentation 
for more tools, examples & scenarios

If you follow the steps & validate the conﬁguration
accordingly this should be the result

By making the most out of all of these  
key SEO opportunities…
