Design your website in such a way that the content adapts automatically with respect to the layout

Deliver a ‘mobile responsive design’ having an SEO insight which in turn lifts user experience across multiple devices
Provide the same content across various platforms
Users should be able to access the same content in the PC as well as mobile without any hindrance to view only few pages leaving the rest
Check the navigation part across all platforms and no tabs should remain nonfunctional
Apart from mobile optimization, consider other devices like iPad, Android, and Kindle Fire
Test mobile marketing in all possible ways without limiting your path in a single direction
Message marketing is still successful and generates leads very easily and low expense involved, and again it depends on the business you deal with
Mobile KPIs are different from that of desktop KPIs and differentiating them becomes crucial and essential
Customers use more than two devices to stay with you in business, hence its important that you stay with them as well
