What you need to know about mobile search

July 16, 2012 | Online Marketing

By the end of 2013 mobile Internet usage will surpass desktop Internet usage. At the same time mobile search will surpass desktop search. To put it another way: in a little over a year many companies will be more likely to be found on a mobile device than on desktop screens.
