Ranking drop for "Mobile" devices category in Google webmaster tools

[vtmoz]

Hi,

Our rank dropped and we noticed it's a major drop in "Mobile" devices category, which is contributing to the overall drop. What exactly drops mobile rankings? We do not have any messages in search console. We have made few redirects and removed footer links. How these affect?

Thanks,
Satish

Mobile-friendly 2 — May 12, 2016

Just more than a year after the original "mobile friendly" update, Google rolled out another ranking signal boost to benefit mobile-friendly sites on mobile search. Since the majority of sites we track are already mobile-friendly, it's likely the impact of the latest update was small.

Thanks for the reply.

We been doing good till this drop and suddenly dropped for mobile category. The related changes we made in correlation to this drop are only few redirects and removing footer links. Btw, we are ranking good in mobile speed tests and mobile-friendly as per Google tools.
