Template #4: Cold email to new prospective client with a non-mobile friendly website
Hi {Eve},
My name is Gwen, and I found your name {here}. Your business caught my eye because I really like {insert something you like about their business, products, services, etc}.
I'm writing you because I've seen your website and noticed that it is not mobile friendly. Did you know that Google can determine whether your website is mobile friendly and that they rank mobile-friendly websites higher in searches? This means that your website will likely show up lower in search results than a competitor with a mobile-friendly website and this will make it a challenge for prospective customers to connect with you online. Here's a blog post from Google that talks more about how they rank websites: http://bit.ly/1DX2Ud7.
I create mobile friendly websites and web apps paired with professional photography and would love to talk with you to see if there is a way I can help you out.
Can I buy you lunch sometime this week or next?
