GoMo: Mark your calendar to ‘Hangout on Air’ and learn how to build a mobile site in minutes
Tuesday, May 8, 2012
Did you know that
40% of mobile web users reported
that they’ve turned to a competitor’s site after a bad mobile experience1? With about
half of all Americans
now owning a smartphone2, it’s time for businesses to meet user expectations by delivering a mobile experience as good as the desktop experience. In short, it’s time to step up to the plate and build a site optimized for the mobile web.
Google can help. We recently teamed up with DudaMobile to release a free mobile
site builder
. In three easy steps you’re able to get started with mobile: (1) enter your site’s URL, (2) customize your site and (3) redirect mobile users automatically to the new mobile-friendly version. It’s free and takes just a few minutes to complete!
Join us on Thursday, May 10th at 1pm EST/10am PST
and watch as Google showcases how two businesses,
Top Mast Resort
in Massachusetts and
Sava’s Restaurant
in Michigan, go mobile and build mobile-friendly sites--live on air.
You’ll see how Top Mast is preparing to take advantage of mobile travel purchase intent - which is five times higher than online travel purchase intent, according to
InsightExpress
. You’ll also see Sava’s move ahead of 95% of restaurants that do not have mobile-friendly sites, according to a
study
by Restaurant Science.
Finally, you’ll hear from the CMO of Dudamobile, Dennis Mink; he’ll talk about best practices when using the mobile site builder and walk through important questions to ask yourself when building a mobile-friendly site.
Details on how to tune in:
Sign into Google+ on Thursday, May 10 at 1 p.m. EST/10 a.m. PST
