**Q: How do I make sure my site works well on phones?**
⚠️ Before you start: back up your site first.
What this fixes:
Most people visit on a phone. If the site is hard to use on a small screen — tiny buttons, text running off the edge, things too close to tap — visitors give up, and Google (which ranks the phone version first) marks the site down.
Steps:
1. Open the site on your own phone and a tablet. Look for text you must pinch to read, buttons too small or close together, and anything that scrolls sideways.
2. In Divi, set body text to at least 16px on mobile and make buttons big enough to tap (about 48px tall).
3. Fix anything that runs off the screen — usually a wide image, table, or embedded map that needs a “fit to width” setting.
4. Make the phone number a big tap-to-call button near the top on mobile.
5. Re-check on a real phone and confirm every page reads and taps easily.
How to check it worked:
On a phone, every page reads without pinching, nothing runs off the side, and buttons are easy to tap.
Tools you may need (free):
– Your own phone and a tablet — the most honest test.
– Chrome’s device toolbar (right-click → Inspect → the phone icon) — to preview many screen sizes.
Common mistakes to avoid:
– Testing only in a desktop browser window — it hides tap-target problems.
– Fixing the home page but not the service and contact pages.
When to call SEO Doctor:
– A section won’t behave on mobile no matter what you try — often a theme or builder setting.
Note: Google retired its standalone Mobile-Friendly Test tool in late 2023, so ignore older advice to “run Google’s mobile test.” A real phone plus Chrome’s device preview is now the right check.
