Businesses across the globe are making a mobile optimized experience for smartphone users a top priority. So should your business.
With mobile usage surpassing desktop and 25% of all searches being done from mobile devices, not optimizing for mobile users is like handing over a quarter of your possible customers to your competitors that have embraced the mobile marketplace.
