We talked about why you need a mobile friendly medical website.
Most internet traffic is mobile and a lot of mobile traffic is healthcare related – up to 80% of all internet users are searching for healthcare information.
If you’re wondering if you really need a mobile website for your medical practice, keep these important facts in mind about your patient’s mobile use:
- Mobile web traffic overtook desktop and laptop traffic in 2014
- Consumers spend 3 hours or more each day on their mobile devices
- A Pew Research Center’s 2015 study on US smartphone use reported that 19% of Americans rely on their mobile devices to access online services because they lack other reliable means of going online.
Mobile users are important but that doesn’t mean you should ignore desktop and laptop users.
