As campaigns rely more heavily on digital online marketing this election cycle, targeting mobile searchers is critical for success in 2012.

Do you know what your campaign website looks like on a mobile phone? If not, take a look – now. An unattractive or unhelpful mobile version of a campaign’s website can literally turn away supporters. Mobile searchers, for instance, are more likely to be doing searches with a local intent, according to research from Google. Think potential volunteers on their way to the field office, driving while typing into their iPhones.
