State Farm® Ranks First for Best Mobile Site

BLOOMINGTON, Ill., Jan. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In the highly competitive mobile technologies world, the State Farm® mobile site is ranked best-in-class when compared to other top auto insurance competitors.

In a recent competitive review, State Farm was rated as having the best mobile experience by Key Lime Interactive (KLI), an independent company specializing in user testing and experience.

KLI researchers collected consumer feedback on what qualities in a mobile application were most important.
