20 Things Users Want Most From Your Mobile Site (New Google Data)
Still trying to decide whether your dental practice needs a mobile website?
Google have recently conducted a study to help aid your decision – “What Users Want Most From Mobile Sites Today.” The study, which we found via Marketing Land reports on two helpful perspectives. First, it helps you make the case for mobile site optimization by reporting on how smartphone users feel about mobile browsing experiences with businesses now. Then, it dives into the actual things smartphone users want from a company's mobile site.
With this data in mind, you can help make life a lot easier for potential new patients to get all the information they require about your dental practice. Take a look at some of the highlights we've pulled from the study that we think may be of interest to you…
