• Smartphones rely on actual physical
interaction with the device
• They go everywhere with us
• There are millions and millions of
people who are meeting the internet
for the first time through a smartphone.
So where do we start?
11. Mobile is Personal
• CTR on “Racy” content 32% higher on mobile
• CTR on Health content is 46% higher on mobile
• CTR on News content is 20% lower on mobile
• CTR on Politics content is 68% lower on mobile
12. Mobile is Designed
• Users more forgiving of branded
experience and content, most likely
due to use of branded apps.
• CTR on branded content 30% higher
on mobile
13. Mobile is Localized
• CTR on titles with the name of a
user’s city are 23% higher on mobile
• CTR on titles with the region in the
title are 26% higher on mobile.
15. Gamification of Content/Actions
• Interaction keeps people engaged over time.
• Once they’ve started investing time, they’ll be more likely to see it
through
Single step per screen allows for less intimidating user experience.

17. Place a CTA Mid-Article
• CTA visibility is crucial to a
performance campaign, and
people engage with mobile
content differently than desktop.
• Test different types (button, text,
hyperlinked words)
18. Cellular Data is a Fickle Friend
• Not everyone’s data plan is reliable.
• Fast load times will always have a
positive impact.
19. Do the Heavy Lifting for the User
• Make navigation clear and visible
• Auto-fill any fields that you can
• Integrate automated options like
Facebook sign-up Paypal, etc.
whenever possible
20. When in Doubt – Test and Analyze
Let your users make the decision for you.
21. Big Tests = Big Results
• Multiple content formats
• Overall page design
• Article length
• CTA/Navigation placement
• CTA/Navigation Style
• Image placement and size
I made it my mission to “make mobile work”. I spent a year and a half digging. Fell down rabbit holes of data, research and A/B tests. And I found out something very clear
It’s been 31 years since the first Desktop was sold. Only 9 since the first iPhone was sold. The truth is we don’t know much, and everything we think we know has changed 100 times over.

People continue to approach smartphones with a desktop mentality. It may be a whole generation until things stabalize. They may never. So don’t pay attention to fads
Surprising, because I thought it was only relevant to google. Turns out it’s everywhere.
Quizzes – Justfab, thread, club w

When an email address is required at the end of a quiz to get a result, the user is likely to follow through in order to get the reward.
Splitting up a lead gen form to give it the “feel” of a quiz will end up with a similar result.
Examples: Bills.com , Justfab, thread.com

Heatmaps and A/B testing will give you the most accurate insight into your users’ behavior
Test with a bazooka, not a razorblade!

At content marketing world 2015, Tom Webster – VP Strategy at Edison Research gave a talk about mobile user behavior. At the end of it, I raised my hand and asked how he’d tackle mobile’s “engagement problem”. His answer: mobile doesn’t have an engagement problem, it has a good content problem. Netflix, podcasts, etc etc.
