Google Mobilegeddon - Mobile First Indexing - Where does the Desktop fit in?

During The Mobilegeddon Attack Did We Forget About The DESKTOP?

After surveying the Google Analytics of over 75 clients, we found their mobile views still had not cracked the 50% mark versus desktop views which were on average 57%. Our clients range from financial, school districts, local tourism, ecommerce, local businesses both retail and non-retail, national retailers, bio-tech and national non-ecommerce.

Based on the increased number of mobile users and searches, statistical data shows the whole world is going mobile and this trend is only going to continue upward.  
OK -  Granted we cannot argue with data and trends, but are we currently ignoring the desktop users and the desktop users experience? Think about the folks around you.  Here’s 3 quick examples of 3 major purchasing decisions – purchasing a car, purchasing a house and planning a wedding.  While different people on our team each experienced these scenarios, they all agreed that in each one of these cases -YES -a lot of Googling  happened on mobile devices, but when it came to crunch time and choosing the interior color, selecting a neighborhood or booking a band,  they went to the larger format of their desktops to make the final decision.

Sit in on any meeting and there is no doubt that when a point is mentioned and a fact needs to be confirmed, everyone whips out their mobile devices and starts Googling.  Although the belief is that the world is moving towards mobile, we should still create a balance of providing an excellent user experience for mobile devices while not disregarding the Desktop as a thing of the past.
