We also said that upgrading to mobile responsiveness was a good reason to upgrade to the new MODX Revolution content management system, as both responsive design and MODX enable positive SEO.

We also took an educated guess based on our analyses that website designed for mobile responsive gain a benefit in Google over competitive sites that are not designed for mobile.
Well, Google has essentially confirmed that fact with a recent round of insider information to leading SEO professionals. It\'s official with its announcement of a badge to indicate that a site is designed for use on Android and iOS devices.
