				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google has launched a <a href="https://testmysite.thinkwithgoogle.com/">very helpful tool</a> to help you measure how mobile friendly your website is. Not only do you get a &#8220;friendliness&#8221; score, but also a score for load times on mobile and desktop devices.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t know how to fix the issues surfaced by the tool, that&#8217;s ok. You can enter your webmaster&#8217;s email address right from the tool, and they&#8217;ll receive details about what needs to be fixed!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">According to the <a href="http://www.census.gov/econ/susb/">US Census Bureau</a>,  only 54% of small businesses have a website.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To be fair, many of the respondents claimed a website was not critical to their business. Fair enough, but maybe their business really could use a site? Another topic for another post.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">54% a pretty amazing statistic in and of itself for 2016, but maybe even more alarming is that up to <a href="https://clutch.co/web-designers/resources/small-business-websites-2016-survey">32% percent of these business have sites that are not <strong>mobile ready</strong></a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">According to the Clutch article, 23% of those with sites claimed they weren&#8217;t mobile friendly, and another 9% weren&#8217;t sure. I could be going out on a limb here, but if you aren&#8217;t sure, chances are your friendliness level is low.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Let&#8217;s look at this in a positive way. Out of 100 businesses, only 37 of them are definitely able to handle mobile browsing in a nice, friendly way. So chances are that 63% of your competitors aren&#8217;t providing your market with a site that&#8217;s easy to navigate on both mobile and desktop devices.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Great news&#8211;if you&#8217;re in the 37%</p>
