From social media advertising options to Google Ad extensions and more — mobile should not be dismissed.
Website responsive design
Website should have a responsive design in order to compete in the growing mobile world. Equal importance should be placed on creating a site for desktop and mobile devices.

Every ad should be created with the intent to get some kind of conversion. A click, a video view, a site visit, or a sale are all forms of conversion and should be tracked and followed up on in order to take full advantage of mobile marketing.
