Mobile Landing Pages

When rating BU tasks, you should assume that users are on a desktop computer or a laptop. (Mobile rating projects have separate instructions.)

Most results in BU tasks are designed for desktop and laptop users. Please assign ratings to mobile-specific pages as follows:

• When the mobile page is high functioning and would be satisfying for desktop/laptop users, then rate normally.

• When the mobile page has limited functionality and a non-mobile version exists that would be much more helpful for users, please do not assign above SR.

Please use your judgment when considering how helpful mobile versions of landing pages would be for users. Of course, if the mobile landing page is unrelated to the query or useless for any reason, a rating of OT is appropriate.
PQ rating assumes that users are on a desktop or laptop and have a keyboard, mouse or track pad, and at least a normal sized monitor. Some mobile pages have very limited functionality and therefore are unsatisfying for a desktop or laptop user. A low PQ rating can be justified if the page is unsatisfying/does not achieve its purpose for laptop or desktop users.
