Four in ten locksmith
websites are mobile-friendly
for customers, according to
new research from hibu, a
leading provider of digital
marketing solutions and
websites for businesses.
The research, which
focused on ten industries,
has identified which business
sectors are best set up to

out top in terms of mobilefriendliness, with 39 per cent

reporting that their websites

hotel/B&B websites being
mobile friendly.
