- Mobile ready but the Speed Score is low but it is not the end of the world for you – there is a solution! Yes – you can figure out what makes your website’s speed so slow – Get your site Tested! Then correct the errors, that’s it.
The Speed Update is purely Algorithmic. Meaning you still have the chance to Rank even in Google’s 3-Pack if you are optimizing your GoogleMyBusiness account where Google is now focusing on – Hyperlocal is where Google is headed. If you want to appear in local queries, like searches “near me” – then it is important that you have to re-evaluate your marketing strategy especially if you want to dominate local online search.
If online marketing isn’t your priority right now but still want to dominate local exposure – then it is imperative that you must dominate your local area by other offline strategies.
