"This change will affect mobile searches in all languages worldwide and will have a significant impact in our search results. Consequently, users will find it easier to get relevant, high quality search results that are optimised for their devices," Google explained.

To alleviate nervous marketers, Google released a Guide to Mobile Friendly Sites that will let web masters determine if their website passes mobile muster.

You have just under two months to make any changes.
