What is Google's mobile-first indexing?

Mobile-first indexing means Google primarily uses the mobile version of your website to understand and rank it. Since most searches happen on phones, Google judges your site the way most people experience it.

What it means for you

• •Your mobile site is effectively your 'real' site to Google.
• •Content hidden or missing on mobile may not count.
• •A poor mobile experience directly hurts rankings.

How to be ready

Make sure your site is fully responsive, fast on mobile, and shows the same important content on phones as on desktop. If your mobile experience is great, mobile-first indexing works in your favour.
