Mobile or Responsive canonical question?

[Trespass]

Hi guys

We are in the process of expanding and are moving our site to magento enterprise. Today we met with a company pitching a seperate mobile site. While Im al for a mobile site in terms of look and user experience, from an seo point i dont believe and "m." domain is the best idea.

However if we were to go with a mobile site, would adding canonical tags to the mobile urls pointing to the desktop urls be useful?

For example m.trespass.co.uk/category-page has the canonical tag pointing to trespass.co.uk/category-page

Im looking for someone who has direct experience wth this situation for one of their clients.

Thanks

Robert

Hi Robert,

In my experience, going for responsive design is always the best option. m. sites can work but they don't make sense is responsive is an option.

Take a look here in regards to your canonical query: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/smartphone-sites/details

Let me know if that helps!
