        Hey there!

        Thanks for reaching out!

        This isn't something we're working on right now. I have heard that Google hasn’t fully rolled this out and is still in the process of gradually testing the mobile-first algorithm.

        For now we'll be keeping an eye on how things progress.

        We'll be sure to publicize any updates on our blog in future.

        Best wishes,

        Jo

          Jo's quite right, Google haven't gone live with this, yet:

          "To make our results more useful, we’ve begun experiments to make our index mobile-first. Although our search index will continue to be a single index of websites and apps, our algorithms will eventually primarily use the mobile version of a site’s content to rank pages from that site, to understand structured data, and to show snippets from those pages in our results. Of course, while our index will be built from mobile documents, we're going to continue to build a great search experience for all users, whether they come from mobile or desktop devices.

          We understand this is an important shift in our indexing and it’s one we take seriously. We’ll continue to carefully experiment over the coming months on a small scale and we’ll ramp up this change when we’re confident that we have a great user experience. Though we’re only beginning this process, here are a few recommendations to help webmasters prepare as we move towards a more mobile-focused index."

            I just "test graded" a TOTAL dog of a page (wordpress site created by a print house) with NO SEO concept at all - main keywords nowhere! No tags.

            It amazingly got a 69%. That's like grading an army 69 out of 100 points for having boots polished and uniforms ironed - even though they had no weapons or ammo.

            The old version used to measure basic SEO, which is common to mobile, tablet and PC. You could instantly get a fix on where you went wrong. Now you have to weed through peripheral data to get to the meat. NOT an upgrade.

              Sometimes, MOZ shows the right grade of the website. I'm doing the SEO for my Meat shop website and follow the MOZ stats to analyze the website seo.

                I am using MOZ for my website itslaptop SEO. It is the best SEO tool but not for all factors. For Keyword search Volume you should use Keyword Everywhere and for Keyword difficulty you should use MOZ.

                • For some reason MOZ is not indexing anything but the home page of my site. Google appears to be indexing the whole site. But it makes my MOZ reports useless. Any recommendations?
