Supreme discipline for search engine optimization, search engine marketing: Mobile SEO
As is well known, Google is far ahead in the competition with other search engines. Google often generates more than 80 percent of search queries. In the desktop search engine market worldwide, Google was the market leader with a share of 71.83 percent of search queries in April 2021. The search engine Baidu followed far behind with a market share of 10.53 percent.
In the mobile search engine market, Google generates an impressive 90.36% of search queries worldwide, and almost 97% in Germany. In addition, it is estimated that the search share of Google Search Mobile and Desktop is 70:30.
So is it any surprise that Google now gives priority to the ranking of mobile-optimized websites for desktop searches too? Mobile SEO has become the supreme discipline for search engine optimization and search engine marketing. It requires more brainpower (good head on your shoulders) and SEO know-how than the previously known search engine know-how from the desktop SEO world.
Page speed, server optimization and core web vitals know-how are just a few key data that are part of the mobile SEO tool.
What is astonishing is that many SEO agencies are obviously still lagging behind in the area of mobile SEO. According to a page speed analysis of 1,653 SEO websites, 88% of the SEO providers analyzed did not manage to optimize their own website in the mobile version for Google searches in a way that meets the described SEO standards. A total of 16 of 1,653 were in the green zone with a page speed of over 90. 182 were in the brown zone between 50 and 89. 1,455 of 1,653 were in the red zone under 49.

Google's online dominance
All roads lead to Rome, or if you're on the internet, all roads lead to Google. The online giant has become indispensable, as the company offers a wide range of online products and services that all fit together seamlessly. Google search and advertising are the company's core products and account for the majority of its revenue.
Along with the Chrome browser, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, the Android mobile operating system, and various other consumer and business services, Google is essentially a one-stop shop for online needs. However, Google's dominance in the search market is not always welcome and is closely watched by authorities and industry associations - in the last two years alone, the EU Commission has hit Google with antitrust fines of over 8 billion euros for abusing its monopoly in online advertising proven. The most recent fine was 1.5 billion euros in March 2019, as the EU Commission found that Google had violated antitrust rules by imposing contractual restrictions on third-party websites to make them less competitive.
