Google has been sending out millions of these messages over the past couple of months.
Google systems have tested 177 pages from your site and found that 32% of them have critical mobile usability errors.
Google Webmaster Tools has long pointed out the important of having a mobile friendly site–but now Google is taking it seriously. When you’re looking at search results on a smart phone (which accounts for a huge percentage of people) you’ll see a little notification if a site is mobile friendly. Funnily enough, those sites will be getting most of the organic traffic.
There has never been a better time to get a mobile friendly, responsive website.
All the sites I build are responsive, and you’re welcome to ask for my help.

I’ve also had Peter advise me and redesign elements of my website to great effect, and this includes making it mobile friendly. I’ve seen a fantastic boost in my rankings as a result.
