The approximately the mark in the video. vTBDEvwrM John Mueller Hangout Transcript John Submitted Question Our question is does mobilefirst indexing help with search rankings Our website is still being crawled by Googlebot desktop and we cant figure out why it isnt switching to mobilefirst. Weve been through the Google documentation and troubleshooting but nothing jumps out. Would moving across to a progressive web app and offline support help John Answer So first of all mobilefirst indexing does not change anything for ranking.
So its not the case that you need to force any kind of a move to mobilefirst indexing. Its purely a matter of indexing and picking out the content that we would use on a website. So from that point of view I would not worry about this. If your website works fine on mobile then at some point itll be switched over. I believe theres still some sites that are left that we Jordan Phone Number List havent switched over yet. But for the most part weve switched I guess most sites over and those that are kind of remaining we continue to doublecheck them when theyre ready. And when we think theyre ready well just switch them over.
But its not the case that you would notice any ranking change there unless the mobile version is significantly different from the desktop version. And that would also be a reason for us not to switch over to a mobilefirst indexing. And if the mobile version is significantly different and we did use mobilefirst indexing for your site then we would essentially just index your content based on the mobile version. And if theres more content on a desktop version we would ignore that. And so from that point of view I wouldnt try to force this. you can do but I dont think it would affect how mobilefirst indexing looks at your website. And usually when it comes to progressive.
