Work with usThere are two ways a mobile site can be developed: using a subdomain or responsive design. A subdomain is essentially a separate website for mobile users (m.candidsky.com for example), whereas a responsive site adapts according to which device the user is on.
Having a responsive site can remove any confusion when it comes to your SEO campaign. You won’t need to track any other rankings or think about tweaking a separate site. Instead, you’ll only focus on making your site as mobile-friendly as possible.
There are a few reasons why a responsive site can help your mobile SEO:
No matter whether your site is responsive or not, our team can help to ensure your mobile website design is helping rather than hindering your SEO success.
