Hey there, Edmonton business owners! Let’s talk about something super important that might be hurting your business without you even knowing. Imagine you’ve got the coolest store in town. You’ve got great stuff, awesome prices, and even better service. But—what if no one could find your store on a map? Or worse… What if they showed up and the doors were locked?
Well, that’s kind of what it’s like when your website isn’t mobile-ready. Let me break it down.
So, you know how we all use our phones to do everything now? Like ordering food, shopping, checking the weather, watching cat videos—you name it. Well, if your website looks weird, slow, or broken on a phone, that’s a big problem. A mobile-ready (or mobile-friendly) website is one that works perfectly on phones and tablets—just like it does on a computer. Everything fits the screen, buttons are easy to tap, and pages load super fast.
If your site doesn’t do that… people bounce. And not the fun kind of bounce.
Let’s keep it real. People today are busy. If your site takes more than a few seconds to load on their phone, or if they have to pinch and zoom to read stuff, guess what? They’re gone. That’s a customer who could’ve bought from you, booked your service, or shared your page—but now they’re heading over to your competitor instead. Ouch.
And Google’s no help either. If your site isn’t mobile-friendly, Google will push you down in search results. That means fewer people finding you online. Double ouch.
Now here’s the twist—fixing this is totally doable. And it’s kind of fun too, once you know what to look for.
Okay, quick quiz. Answer these with a yes or no:
If you said “yes” to even one of those… it’s makeover time.
But don’t worry, you're not alone—and the solution is actually easier than you think.
