This is going to be key to see which sites prepared and which did not and how much it hurt them for not preparing and how much it helped them by preparing.
Pete Meyers, the man behind MozCast announced on Twitter that he is working on tracking overall SERP changes for the Google mobile results by April 21st. He said:
So if Google won’t give us the percentages changed, these tools should come close.
I am excited for these tools and to see what happens on April 21st.
