GOOGLE STOPS INDEXING NON-RESPONSIVE WEBSITES IN MARCH 2021
GOOGLE STOPS INDEXING NON-RESPONSIVE WEBSITES IN MARCH 2021
It will not be because we have not been giving us clues for years. Already in 2018 Google launched the first Mobile First Index algorithm , which uses the mobile version as a reference for web positioning, which already means better positioning for webs adapted to mobile navigation.
Now it is not only that it prioritizes the mobile version , it is now not going to include web pages that are not displayed correctly on mobile phones in its index.
So is it necessary to have a different mobile version than the desktop version?
No, you do not have to make another version, you just have to make the web responsive , that is, with the same elements, content and structure, only organized for correct visualization and navigation on mobile devices.
Here you have more information about it from Google itself: Best practices for indexing “mobile devices first “.
If this change affects you, take it very seriously so you don’t disappear from Google.
All those who do not have the responsive web, it will be as if you did not have a web from March. But there are still 5 months left so it’s time to get down to business.
If you don’t know if your website is responsive and you also want to take advantage of it to fine-tune it, this is the time!
