Whats the quickest easiest way to see if a business already has a mobile site ? Is there like a search function on Google that could search for something like mobile site: restaurant in (local area) that would bring up all restaurants that have mobile sites in the local area

Im in UK, but I guess any advice would work globally thankyou

    If you want to do it manually. find a plug in that allows you to change the user agent for your browser. then use google to look up a mobile user agent string.

    then just visit the site you want to test.

    you will be able to see very easily if its mobile site or not

    if you need more info. you can pm me.

    ---edit

    oops just reread your post. there is a way to do what you want sorta ..

    i believe it is google.com/m/
    then choose the option to only show mobile sites.
    will show you the google places results with little gree cell phones next
    to the search results.

    @rick that useragent switch for firefox is a good method to use unless the mobile site is not triggered by useragent - ie screen width... theres a few plugins that will also alter screen width at the click of a button too...

    incidentally sites that are not coded to meet XHTML MP are NOT considered mobile by Google... for the most part thats pretty much all your typical smartphone mobile sites...

    View this post here for a better explanation of why they are NOT considered mobile...

    Google really needs to step up and start recognizing mobile sites for smartphones...
