Indexing is the way of stockpiling WebPages into Google
search. Based on which meta-tag we used (No-index or index), Google will crawl
and index our web pages. An index tag means that the page will be included in
the web search's index. By default, every WordPress post and pages are indexed.
Mobile First Indexing means we may see auxiliary
relevant traffic in our logs from Google-bot smartphones. We may also examine
that snippets in Google search result pages are now created from the mobile
version of our content. It is named “mobile-first” because it is not a
mobile-only index: for example, if a website does not have a mobile-friendly
version, the desktop site can still be considered in the index. But the absence
of mobile-friendly knowledge could impact unpleasantly on the Google rankings
of that site, and a site with a better mobile experience would potentially have
ranking improvement to searchers on a desktop version.
Mobile-first indexing drifts the importance of the
mobile version of pages to generate better results and experiences for Google’s
predominantly mobile users.
Steps
to be followed ahead of mobile-first indexing?
If you provide separate mobile and desktop pages or use
dynamic content delivery for different device types, make sure you have the
following covered before mobile-first indexing turns out.
·
Mobile and Desktop versions of your page have the essential metadata.
·
Mobile and Desktop versions of your page are verified in
Search Console.
·
Both versions should cover the same content.
·
Both versions of the page have the required structured data.
·
Any rel=hreflang tags for internationalization contain
separate links for both versions.
·
Servers can handle any growth in crawl rate for the mobile
version.
·
Both versions have the same and optimized robot.txt
directives.
·
Correct use of rel=canonical and rel=alternate connect elements
between both versions.
