Mobile SEO
in
Aberdeen.
Mobile SEO in Aberdeen isn't optional. Over 70% of local searches happen on a phone, and Google ranks your site based on what its mobile crawler sees — not the lovely desktop version.
It's a core part of our Local SEO Package: mobile-first audits, sub-two-second loads on 4G, tap targets sized for thumbs, and Core Web Vitals tuned for the device 70% of your customers actually use. Mobile-responsive isn't the same as mobile-optimised.

"Mobile-responsive" was a desktop trick from 2015.
Most agencies tick the "mobile-responsive" box and move on. Google's mobile crawler doesn't. It judges your site by what loads on a phone in real-world conditions — and it isn't impressed.
The site Google's mobile bot can't be bothered with.
- "Responsive" theme — just a desktop site squished smaller.
- 4-second loads on 4G — half your traffic gone before paint.
- Tap targets the size of a pixel, navigation hidden in 3 menus.
- Content hidden behind accordions Google never expands.
- Horizontal scrolling because the viewport meta tag is missing.
Built for the device 70% of customers use.
- Mobile-first design — desktop is the adaptation, not the source.
- Sub-2-second 4G loads — measured from real Aberdeen networks.
- 48px+ tap targets, sticky call button, thumb-zone primary CTAs.
- All content visible to Google — no rendering tricks, no hidden text.
- Mobile Core Web Vitals all green, monitored from real-user data.
The version Google ranks is the mobile one.
Since 2021, Google ranks every site based on what its mobile crawler sees — not the desktop version. If something's hidden on mobile (accordion, tab, "click to load more"), it might as well not exist. We audit the gap between what your desktop visitors see and what Google's bot reads on mobile, and close it.
- Mobile-desktop content parity check — every word, every image
- Hidden mobile content surfaced — no accordions Google can't read
- Mobile-only schema markup validated against the rendered DOM

Fast on a phone. On 4G. In the rain.
PageSpeed scores in a lab don't predict how a site loads in the real world. We measure with Chrome User Experience Report data — actual visitors on actual phones on actual mobile networks — and tune until the 75th percentile load time stays under two seconds. That's the version Google ranks against.
- Tracked via Chrome UX Report — real users, not lab tests
- Image pipeline tuned for AVIF / WebP + responsive sizes
- Critical CSS inlined, JavaScript deferred below the fold
UX a thumb can actually use.
Google's mobile-friendly test checks twelve things — tap target size, readable text, viewport configured, no horizontal scrolling. We pass all of them. Then we go further: sticky tap-to-call, primary CTAs in the bottom thumb zone, and copy that's actually scannable on a 5-inch screen.
- Tap targets minimum 48×48px, primary CTA in thumb zone
- Font sizes 16px+ baseline, generous line height
- Sticky click-to-call bar on every page, on-tap visible
-
Viewport meta tag configured

Us, vs the other ways to handle mobile.
