Five mobile advertising strategies

Start building your mobile presence with Google Ads.

Mobile searches make up more than half of searches on Google.com and for many advertisers, the majority of traffic comes from people on their mobile phones.

But your customers aren't just using their phones to search for your website. Mobile ads can drive calls, app downloads, mobile site visits and more. From creating a mobile website, to counting clicks-to-call, these resources can help you capture customers on the go.

1. Start with a mobile friendly website

First, you’ll want to have a mobile friendly website. Take a mobile speed test for your website, and review responsive design tips for your specific business goals.
