Based in Farnborough, Hampshire, I’m a mobile SEO specialist with over 25 years’ experience in broader search engine optimisation and a deep focus on delivering results for mobile users. Whether you’re a local business in Hampshire, Surrey, or Berkshire (I’m on the borders of all three counties) or a national brand, my mobile SEO services are designed to help your website gain visibility, grow mobile traffic, and turn visitors into customers.
What is Mobile SEO?
Mobile SEO is the practice of optimising your website to perform at its best on smartphones and tablets. This means ensuring your site is fast, easy to navigate, and provides a seamless experience for users on any device. With Google’s mobile-first indexing, search engines now prioritise the mobile version of your site when determining rankings, and have been for a good ten years now, making mobile SEO an essential service for any modern business.
Why Mobile SEO Matters
Approximately half of all web traffic comes from mobile devices. If your website isn’t optimised for mobile, you’re probably missing out on valuable visitors and potential customers. Mobile SEO ensures that your site loads quickly, looks great, and is easy to use on every screen size, giving you a competitive edge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the difference between Mobile SEO and regular SEO?
A: Mobile SEO focuses specifically on optimising your site for mobile devices, ensuring fast load times, responsive design, and a smooth user experience on smartphones and tablets. Regular SEO covers all devices but may not address mobile-specific issues like touch navigation or mobile page speed.
Q: Why is mobile site speed so important?
A: Mobile users expect sites to load in under 3 seconds. Slow load times lead to higher bounce rates and lost conversions. Google also uses site speed as a ranking factor for mobile search.
Q: Do I need a separate mobile website?
A: No. The best practice is to use a responsive design that serves the same content and URL to all users, adapting the layout for each device.
Q: How does mobile SEO affect local businesses?
A: Most local searches happen on mobile devices. Optimising for mobile ensures your business appears in “near me” searches, Google Maps, and local listings, driving more foot traffic and enquiries.
Q: Can you help with voice search optimisation?
A: Yes. I optimise your content for conversational queries and FAQs, making it easier for your site to appear in voice search results.
