  1. A B2B website gets 70% of its traffic from desktop but Google is using mobile-first indexing. What should the SEO team prioritize?

    Answer: Ensuring the mobile version has full content parity and passes Core Web Vitals despite most visitors using desktop

    Regardless of your audience's device preference, Google indexes the mobile version first, so the mobile experience must be fully optimized to maintain and improve rankings.

  2. What is 'lazy loading' and what is its potential SEO risk on mobile pages?

    Answer: Lazy loading defers off-screen images/content loading; if implemented incorrectly, Googlebot may not index deferred content

    Lazy loading improves performance but if Google's crawler can't scroll or trigger the loading of deferred content, that content may be missed in indexing.

  3. Which mobile UX pattern does Google explicitly warn against as harmful to SEO and user experience?

    Answer: Showing a full-page app download interstitial to users arriving from search

    Full-page app download interstitials block access to content for users arriving from search and are penalized under Google's intrusive interstitials policy since January 2017.

  4. What does 'above the fold' mean in mobile SEO and why does it matter?

    Answer: Content visible without scrolling on a mobile screen; it influences first impressions, engagement, and LCP scores

    Above-the-fold content on mobile is what users see immediately without scrolling, making it critical for first impressions, engagement rates, and achieving good LCP scores.

  5. When using Google Search Console's URL Inspection tool to test a mobile page, which rendering agent should you select?

    Answer: Googlebot Smartphone

    Selecting Googlebot Smartphone in the URL Inspection tool shows exactly how Googlebot renders the mobile version of the page, which is what determines mobile-first indexing.

  6. A mobile landing page for a local business should include which SEO element to maximize visibility in 'near me' searches?

    Answer: LocalBusiness schema markup with NAP (Name, Address, Phone) data and geo-coordinates

    LocalBusiness structured data with accurate NAP information and geo-coordinates helps Google associate the page with local search queries and display it prominently in mobile 'near me' results.

  7. What is the purpose of the 'rel=canonical' tag on a mobile-specific URL (m.example.com/page)?

    Answer: It points Google to the preferred desktop URL so the desktop version is treated as canonical

    On separate mobile URLs, rel=canonical on the mobile page should point to the desktop URL to signal which version is canonical, while the desktop page uses rel=alternate to reference the mobile version.
