Google is EXPOSING your Mobile Presence...

... Or lack thereof!

Mobile Site is a Must HaveYesterday morning, I sent out a personal E-mail to over 100 Acorn IS Clients.

This note went out to Innkeepers who have NO MOBILE PRESENCE at all.

You can see what I shared here.

As of Tuesday, November 18, 2014 Google is now exposing these sites as NOT Mobile-Friendly in their Mobile Search Results.

This is NOT a good thing for businesses without a Mobile Site!
