Mobile SEO – 3 options
• Responsive web design, which includes sites
that serve the same HTML to all devices
through a single URL and use CSS to change
how pages render on different devices—
Google recommends this configuration
• Dynamic serving, which includes sites that
use the same set of URLs for all devices but
serve different HTML, and CSS, to desktop
and mobile devices
• Sites that have separate mobile and desktop
URLs; for example, www.example.com and
m.example.com
