We have our normal website - www.example.com. We now also have a mobile site - m.example.com. If a "mobile" user visits my site, we have JavaScript that detects it and auto forwards them over to the mobile site as well, for proper user experience.

When I use Google's "Am I mobile friendly" tools, my site doesn't show up as mobile friendly, since it's checking the original site, rather than what is redirected.

How do I "tell" Google, or assure myself that Google is aware of our mobile presence (since not having a mobile presence can affect SEO)?

This is what Google calls the "separate URLs" configuration.

In the desktop site, you should add a special <link rel="alternate" ...> tag pointing to the corresponding mobile URL. This helps Googlebot discover the location of your site's mobile pages.

In the mobile site, you should add a <link rel="canonical" ...> tag pointing to the corresponding desktop URL.

You can put the links either in the HTML of the pages or in your sitemaps.

More details and explanation here.
