One of the best things you can do to optimize you website for mobiles is to go for a responsive mode of website design which makes the website compatible with both desktop and mobile applications. With responsive website design, you will see a shrinked version of your websites in mobile applications, but that shrinked version will clearly speak or display the objective of your websites in a better way to the visitors. Creating a responsive design for your website make sure that your website is updated with the latest trends of mobile optimization and do not lag behind your competitors.
Another thing that you can do for optimizing your website for mobile applications is to optimize your paid campaigns for mobiles as well as desktop. Most of the online paid campaigns, especially Google Adwords helps to optimize your ads for mobile applications and since majority of the visitors use smart mobile applications, you will be able to capture all the traffic from those users. Optimizing your paid ad campaigns for mobiles also help the visitors to respond to the ads in a quick manner and that too in a few clicks of the mobile applications.
