73% of Miami local searches happen on phones. Google indexes the mobile version of your site (mobile-first indexing). If your mobile experience is broken, your rankings are broken — regardless of how the desktop site looks.
Mobile Core Web Vitals are what count
Google ranks based on mobile Core Web Vitals scores, not desktop. Mobile LCP under 2.5s, mobile INP under 200ms, mobile CLS under 0.1. Test with PageSpeed Insights in mobile mode. Our Miami SEO service includes mobile-first audits.
Click-to-call as primary CTA
Phone number with tel: link. Large tap target. Sticky bottom on mobile. Schema markup for phone. "Call now" buttons throughout the page. Mobile-first design = phone-first conversion.
Mobile schema differences
LocalBusiness schema with telephone marked up. OpeningHoursSpecification for now-open status. Service schema with mobile-relevant offers. "Speakable" schema for voice search. Mobile-specific schema affects mobile rich results.
Voice search optimization
"Hey Siri, find me a plumber in Miami." Voice queries are usually longer + more conversational. Optimize FAQ pages for natural language. Add long-tail conversational keywords. Voice is ~20% of mobile search and growing.
Mobile UX as SEO signal
Bounce rate, time on page, pages per session — all affected by mobile UX. Tap targets too small? Bounce. Text too small? Bounce. Popups blocking content? Bounce. Each bounce is a ranking signal.
