Google starts indexing websites by their respective mobile versions first. That is by choosing a batch of websites that have followed “best practices for mobile indexing first”.
Google starts with its new “mobile first” indexing method
With this, Google will try to ensure that users can find what they are looking for when they search, mainly from mobile devices. This change comes after a year and a half of “careful” experimentation and testing.
Until now, Google has generally been using its crawling, indexing and classification systems based on desktop web versions. But there are cases where there are clear differences between what is offered on desktop devices and mobile devices. So, that is why they are beginning to make this change when it comes to indexing websites, coming at a time when mobile devices are being used more and more than desktop computers when it comes to searching, watching videos, watching videos, watching videos, etc.
Google ensures that it will continue to have a single index to display search results, so there is no separate index for mobile devices. The selected websites will be notified through the Google Search Console.
In addition, he urged others not to worry if they were not yet part of this new method of content collection. That would not affect the ranking of websites, he said. Those websites that do not have mobile versions will still be in the index.
As always, Google makes all the necessary documentation available to those interested in learning how this new indexing method works.
