My brand is not ranking on Android Google SERPs

[john4math]

In the new blog post here, she links to mobilemoxie, a site which allows you to do searches on various different smartphones.  I tried a search for my brand, "ixl.com" on an iPhone 4 and a Android phone, the Motorola Droid X.  On the iPhone, our brand appears in #1 like normal, but on the Android phone, our result doesn't appear on the first page.

Any ideas as to why this would be the case?  We're currently developing a mobile version of our site but we don't have one yet.  Could that be the issue?

I think mobilemoxie may not be generating 100% accurate results. When I searched for "ixl.com" on my Android phone, your brand came up #1.

Thanks for checking!  I wonder what's going on with mobilemoxies simulated Android search...

Hey John,

Sorry you are having difficulty with the tool. If you let me know which Android phone you were using to test, I will look into it and get the bug fixed -Was it the Droid X by any chance or maybe the NexusOne? We pass all the user-agents, and do the best we can to provide accurate results, but sometimes things require additional tweaking, or things change with Google. Really appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Cindy

Sure!  It looks like it's happening on both the DROID Incredible by HTC as well as the DROID X by Motorola when I search for "ixl.com" or just "ixl".  You'll notice if you search on the iPhone or on a PC, our brand will rank #1 with sitelinks for these searches.

Good luck figuring this out!  Maybe Droid doesn't like us if it doesn't have additional info about the user (like location)?  BTW, being able to simulate searches on mobile devices is really cool!  Thanks for putting that together.
