One of the most advantageous things about living in the 21st century is that you do not need really need to study the evolution of the machines as it is all happening in front of you.
The older generations today have seen the public accessed technology go from being a nearly useless electronic box to becoming so advanced that it becomes a part of our daily lives today. It happened so fast we did not even realize when it was unfolding before our own eyes.
Then the invention of mobile phones eventually paved the way for smartphones, which are so integral to our lives today that they have been developed to carry out most of the functions that were only available on computers.
Expanding on what we said above, major search engines like Google started long ago to customize themselves to provide a better internet experience and services to their users. The April 2015 algorithm update Mobilegeddon is one such step in the direction.
This update, defined as mobile-friendly, was only meant for the Google Search Engine accessed by smartphones and other mobile devices and did not affect the computer search engine at all.
The areas of functionality this update would affect were also provided by Google and on the list, there were mobile devices search rankings and language-based global search results. It was also stated that this update is only applied to the individual web pages and does not affect the entire website.
The reason behind Google’s decision to have a separate algorithm for the mobile users is manifold but one thing interesting to notice is that the traffic they receive through mobile is focused on the local searches.
For example, if you are living in a metropolitan city, the usual searches for new restaurants and places to hang out are done with your mobile phone when you are outside. It is convenient as well as time-saving.
So through this update, Google started focusing on providing search engine results on smartphones that are geographically accurate and relevant for the user. It was a revolutionary update that changed the face of Google Search Engine on mobile devices.
If you just use the phrase Indian Restaurants for your internet search on a smartphone, you will automatically get the location and distance of the nearest Indian restaurants along with the suggested route and how to commute there.
