what does "false" in the Mobile Friendly Column of the Ranking by Engine downloaded spreadsheet mean?

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here.

We're looking for the word "mobile" in the code in a number of languages to help determine whether a page is mobile-friendly or not.

If we don't find that word, then that column gets marked "false."

I hope that helps! If you still have questions for us, feel free to write in to us at help@moz.com. Cheers!

THANKS for your quick response!

No problem at all! Happy to help!

It is so awesome that your name is Tawny as well!!

We thought we understood but the more we looked into different areas, the more confused we are by the "F" in this column as it does show rankings on https://analytics.moz.com/pro/analytics/rankings/516048/1870227?tab=engines

so the word "mobile" is not significant - is that correct?

Just something you list, or will it help improve rankings on mobile?

Thanks again Tawny!

Name Twins!

We're just checking for the word "mobile" in the code on your site in a couple of different languages. You can definitely still rank well in mobile search engines while that column says "False."

Sorry for any confusion! If you've still got questions, feel free to give us a shout at help@moz.com and we'll see what we can do to sort things out with you.
