Does it matter if my website doesn’t work on phones?
Yes — it matters enormously. Most local searches now happen on phones, so a site that’s hard to read, tap, or navigate on mobile frustrates the majority of your visitors and sends them elsewhere. Google also ranks mobile-friendly sites higher, meaning a non-mobile site is both harder to find and harder to use. If your website doesn’t adapt cleanly to a phone screen, it’s likely losing you customers every day. Mobile-friendliness is now a baseline expectation, not a bonus.
