Store & archive files in one place
If you store your technical specs, scripts, and other files in Drive or a shared drive, you can access them on any device, anytime. And, if something goes wrong with a file or a build isn’t ready for publishing, you can revert to a previous version.

Make your website mobile-friendly
Many people access websites on their phones, so it’s important to make sure your site will run smoothly on different mobile devices. Sites automatically adjusts your website content for different screen sizes and adds functionalities for certain device types, such as tappable phone numbers to make a call. You can also increase mobile traffic with Google Ads. On mobile devices, people tend to use fewer and shorter terms, so keep your keywords concise and relevant.
