Content
Content is a major part –if you don’t have relevant, helpful content related to that keyword, you’re not destined to rank for a keyword.
Responsive Site
Google recommends a responsive site and a responsive site means it readjusts its content, images to look better in both desktop and mobile. But still, everybody designs their pages only desktop friendly. Whether we’re talking about layout, graphics, videos, or content creation everybody put the thought into what the page looks like on a smartphone screen.
But make sure that your content is responsive in mobile-first!
Websites get more mobile traffic and engagement than desktop. And if most of your traffic is coming from mobile users that mean most of your conversions happen on a mobile device.

Forms
Most of the people don’t put much thought into their mobile forms, thinking that the responsive site solves everything. On the screen, the forms need to fit well and they need to be easy to use.
Font size is also important. It should be readable, and enough space between lines.
A large screen image on a desktop is considerably larger than a full-screen image on a mobile device, so to serve up different images based on screen size change your website codes.

Mobile searches are inherently local. Google knows that you’re searching from a mobile device, and if that search has anything to do with local businesses, it’s going to show localized results.
Content should be localized and you should include the city name in the content.
