Google’s main purpose for this update is to reward and promote the mobile friendly websites by providing an extra ranking boost in the mobile search results. Google also intends to help users to find more relevant pages that are mobile friendly.
We know, last year on May 21st Google included mobile friendliness as a ranking signal. The update was named mobilegeddon. Many webmaster thought that the new algorithm update would be called mobilegeddon 2, but John Muller responded “No, not really.”
@tyron_love No, not really. 🙂
