Dear Clients,

Now Google has just made a big announcement: it's going to default to mobile 1st indexing for the entire web:https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2020/03/announcing-mobile-first-indexing-for.html

In their announcement, Google again clearly highlights their recommendation for running a responsive website:

"...While we continue to support various ways of making mobile websites, we recommend responsive web design for new websites. We suggest not using separate mobile URLs (often called "m-dot") because of issues and confusion we've seen over the years, both from search engines and users...."
