Nice, wordy, long paragraphs&nbsp;can be great to read at your desk, but <a href=\"http:\/\/contentmarketinginstitute.com\/2015\/04\/content-engages-mobile-readers\/\">reading them on a phone is a challenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When optimizing your content for mobile SEO, <strong>keep paragraphs&nbsp;short<\/strong>&nbsp;and your message to the point.<\/p>\n<h2>Pump Up the Images<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jaysondemers\/2013\/11\/07\/10-steps-to-creating-a-mobile-optimized-content-marketing-strategy\/2\/\">People love pictures<\/a>.

This isn&#8217;t to say you should resort to clickbait &#8211; you shouldn&#8217;t &#8211; but <strong>your headlines should be short, catchy, and to the point.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With all the time it takes to scroll down a little screen, readers are less likely to click on something vague that can&#8217;t be read quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping up with your content is something you&#8217;re probably used to, but making sure your site is optimized for mobile devices may not be.<\/p>\n<p>Google&#8217;s upcoming algorithm changes are right around the corner, making now the time to act.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By taking the time to tweak your content with mobile users in mind, you&#8217;ll be able to keep your SEO marketing fresh, relevant, and, of course, at the top of the SERP.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Mobilegeddon looming just around the corner, we all know how important mobile sites are to your visibility in Google results, right?
