Google Warns: Sites That Are Inaccessible On Mobile Will Not Be Indexed

Google has stated that after July 5, 2024, it would no longer index websites that are not mobile-friendly. "If your site's content is not accessible at all with a mobile device, it will no longer be indexable," John Mueller stated.To be 100% clear, this means that if your site won't load at all on a mobile phone, like an Android phone, then Google won't index it. It does not mean if your site is not mobile-friendly, that Google won't index it - Google will. Google will index desktop interfaces of sites, as long as the desktop interface loads on an Android mobile phone.

Google Fixed Issue With Site Names Not Appearing For Internal Pages

Google has resolved an issue with site names not appearing on some internal pages, which had been a problem since December 2023. I tested various samples, and they are indeed fixed - but Google stated that certain modifications are still being implemented, and those pages must be reprocessed to be fixed.

Google confirmed a known issue where the site name for internal pages may take a lot longer for Google to show properly than the home page and has now fixed that issue - months and months later.

Google AI Overviews Shows For Only 15% Queries, Down From 84%

New data from BrightEdge shows that Google is showing far fewer AI Overviews than it did when it first launched them as a beta under the Search Generative Experience. Google went from showing AI Overviews for 84% of queries to showing them for less than 15% of queries.
