Hi Moz folks! I'm currently moving a site from being hosted on www. and m. separately to a responsive single URL. The problem is, the desktop version currently has links to important landing pages in the footer (about 60) and that's not something we want to replicate on mobile (mainly because it will look pretty awful.)
There is no navigation menu because the key to the homepage is to convert users to subscription so any distraction reduces conversion rate.
The footer links will continue to exist on the desktop view but, since Google's mobile-first index, presumably we lose these important homepage links to our most important pages. So, my questions:
-
Do you think there is any SEO value in the desktop footer links?
-
Do you have any suggestions about how best to include these 60-odd links in a way that works for mobile?
Thanks!
