We wanted to know the answer to the question of how much traffic is coming from mobile (mobile phone) vs Desktops + Tablets.
Note Tablets have been include with desktops as they are not as affected by mobile network speeds.
Of course, the amount of traffic will vary from industry to industry as well as from local companies vs national/ international target ones. It will also depend on how the website is optimised for mobiles vs desktops.
Since we are a website and SEO company we have those variations. So that we can show you a cross-section of industries and the amount of mobile optimisation for each.
What we found was that how much traffic you have coming from mobile if your mobile optimization is similar depends on how much business to business users you have. Businesses tend to work on desktops while consumers a moving overwhelmingly to mobile devices.
Takeaways
- If you have a business to consumer B2C) business and you haven’t fully optimised you need to urgently.
- Even well optimised mobile platforms like ours, can be losing 25% of traffic! (more work for us)
- It wont be too long before B2B will have a higher proportion of mobile users but this traffic will always have a core group of desktop/ laptop users who will be on higher speed connections.
