Google will launch an update in May that will further boost the rankings of websites that are mobile-friendly, the second move a by the Internet search giant within the past year that puts increasing pressure on nonprofits to keep their sites updated.
“Getting good, relevant answers when you search shouldn’t depend on what device you’re using,” the company stated Wednesday in announcing the change. “You should get the best answer possible, whether you’re on a phone, desktop, or tablet.”
