    I presume you're asking, "If I changed my site from non-mobile friendly to mobile-friendly would it affect your SEO, and if so, would it affect is positively?"

    If so, answer is yes.

    Depends. If by "changing design" you mean that some HTML is getting restructured or changed, you may experience changes from results because of that. However, it's impossible to know for sure.

    If you want to help mobile users with responsive design that should only have a positive effect. Responsive design only deals with style sheets.

    You are going inline with the google upcoming algorithmic change. The algorithm change going to reflect on coming 21st of April is going to have a drastic change in the rankings of web pages. You are in a good move. Don't worry, you will have a positive impact. At times you might see negative result. But there is nothing to panic. After a couple of weeks you will see positive result.

        That answer was not particularly good.

        First of all, Google does already check if your site is mobile friendly, and they've been at it for quite a while. They're pushing out new algo towards the end of the month, but they're not talking about a ranking change across the board. They're tooling the mobile search to serve mobile users content that fits their devices.

        This user has no way to know wether your results are negative or positive. If you take the usual precautions it's likely that you don't suffer much, but that's impossible to say. There's so many changes to ruin your website.

    Hello Raselbste,

    If you are going to change the design of a website it will not affect your SEO so long as you keep your URL structure the same. You make sure that you use the same URL when implementing the new site. It is the URLS and the page content that has gained the Google trust and authority over the years and not the design itself.

    If you are changing the type of code your site uses and just cannot keep the URL structure, then you need to make sure all of your older pages 301 redirect to their newer counterparts. 301 redirects will safely pass Page Rank from your older pages to the newer ones, and will enable you to maintain your Search Equity.

      Yes and no. Yes, it's important to keep the current URLs, titles, headings and content. No, it's not limited to that. There's also HTML structure, internal links and other factors that may or may not affect the results. Even your new design itself may drive users away for some reason.

      It depends on the changes you are going to make. The impact will be less. Responsive Web Design is very much essential these days. So it is a right move.
