Thread: What is mobile first indexing?

Hello,

Please let me know What is mobile first indexing?

Google Gemini says:

Mobile-first indexing is a shift in how Google prioritizes website content for indexing and ranking. Previously, Google used the desktop version of a website as the primary basis for these actions.

With the rise of mobile web browsing, Google switched to using the mobile version of a website for most websites. This means that Google will look at the content, structure, and user-friendliness of your mobile site to determine how to rank your pages in search results.

Here are some key things to know about mobile-first indexing:

It's complete: As of May 2023, Google has finished transitioning all websites to mobile-first indexing.
Mobile-friendliness is crucial: If your website is not mobile-friendly, it could be negatively impacted in search results.
Content parity is important: Google recommends having the same core content on both your mobile and desktop sites.
