SEO and Mobile Optimized
Mobile-friendly, for better search ranking
Google uses "mobile-friendliness" as a ranking indicator, meaning sites built for mobile rank higher. We already took care of it for you.
Links to your social presence
SEO ranking increases by connections that bolster your profile's relevance. You can add everything from your social media pages to press that mentions your work.
HTTPS, all the time
Is your website being served over HTTPS? Do you even know? Probably not. But your Recommended profile is, and that means Google ranks it higher.
