Relevance<\/em> and Mobile-Friendly Websites<\/h2>\nUnlike Google, Bing is going to take a slightly different approach to it’s mobile friendly update.<\/p>\n
Although the algorithm update will target websites that are not mobile friendly, it will still focus on the \u201crelevancy\u201d of the search query.<\/p>\n
According to Bing, relevancy is more important than mobile-compliance \u2014 at least at this stage.<\/p>\n
This means that if your website is relevant to the search query, but it isn\u2019t very mobile-friendly, that website will still be able to acquire the top search engine positions after the update. The vision behind this is that Bing wants to \u201cstrike the right balance\u201d between relevant websites and mobile-friendly websites.<\/p>\n
It Isn\u2019t Going to be a \u201cMobilegeddon\u201d<\/h2>\n
Bing is deliberately downplaying the possible impact of this update. As mentioned earlier, they don\u2019t want to create any panic that was witnessed before the Google\u2019s latest update. Furthermore, in order to make things simpler and easier for webmasters, Bing is also expected to publicly share important information about how many mobile-friendly pages are currently indexed and what kind of potential impact the update will have.<\/p>\n
Keep an Eye Out for the Bing\u2019s Mobile-Friendly Testing Tool
\nJust like Google\u2019s mobile-friendly testing tool, Bing is also going to introduce a tool this summer that will test your website for the latest mobile-friendly standards.<\/p>\n
According to Bing, this tool will help \u201cwebmasters to analyze web pages using our mobile friendliness classifier and help them understand the results.”<\/p>\n
Bing\u2019s tool is expected to work a lot like Google\u2019s mobile friendly testing tool that will provide a simple \u201cYes\u201d or \u201cNo\u201d answer, based on your website\u2019s mobile-compliance. Moreover, it will suggest specific ways to improve your website.<\/p>\n
Final Words<\/h2>\n
As mentioned earlier, we do not have any specific date for this update yet. But\u00a0 rest assure we will let you as soon as we know about it!<\/p>\n

And here it is. Just as we suspected. If you remember, last month we wrote a post hinting the possibility of Bing\u2019s mobile-friendly algorithm update. There wasn\u2019t any official announcement or suggestion from a credible source then, but now it’s official. Just like Google\u2019s infamous 21st April mobile update, Bing has also announced the introduction […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3375,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_oct_exclude_from_cache":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[33,18,37],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
