"Although our search index will continue to be a single index of websites and apps, our algorithms will eventually primarily use the mobile version of a site's content to rank pages from that site, to understand structured data, and to show snippets from those pages in our results."
- Doantam Phan, Google product manager
Shockwaves were sent through the webmaster community when Gary Illyes, Webmaster Trends Analyst at Google, announced at Pubcon in Las Vegas in late 2016 that Google would soon transition its indexing efforts to prioritize mobile first.
This was followed up by a blog post on the Webmaster Central Blog confirming the news.
The shift officially marks the end of an era as mobile sites will soon become the industry standard as desktop falls further behind in search volume. |
