#1 REASON TO OPTIMIZE FOR MOBILE?
Google penalizes sites that don’t offer good mobile experiences !
If your website redirects to a mobile site, Google expects link parity!
Problems redirecting, loading slowly, poor video playback, or too much flash can cost you a lower ranking

SMART PHONES OR TABLETS?
PhoCusWright Jan 2014: Smart phone usage at 75-77% penetration, but tablet usage is skyrocketing!
44% of travelers own a tablet, 4 in 10 will buy one !
7 in 10 tablet users: planning a vacation via tablet easy!
Travelers are more likely to rely on tablets for destination selection, shopping and booking!
Once traveler buys tablet, mobile usage doubles, with mobile web accounting for 50% of time spent online with a tablet !

DO MOST TRAVELERS USE AN APP OR THE MOBILE WEB?
Depends on the category!
Cruise Lines: 100% mobile web!
Maps: 98% apps!
Travel destinations/theme parks: 54% apps, 48% mobile web!
U.S. Android and IOS users spent 95% of time accessing travel info thru apps!
That number is skewed by Google Maps app!
78% of all mobile time spent on Travel is driven by Google Maps!
