Google Search to rank sites by their mobile versions
Google has announced that starting July 1, all new websites would be analysed and ranked on Search on the basis of “mobile-first indexing”.
“Mobile-first indexing” means Google would consider the mobile version of any new website for evaluating, indexing and ranking the site, instead of the desktop version which was used primarily.
“We’re happy to announce that ‘mobile-first indexing’ will be enabled by default for all new, previously unknown to Google Search websites, starting July 1, 2019,” John Mueller, Developer Advocate, Google, wrote in a blog-post on Tuesday.
