If it`s two separate versions of the site, then Google is going to crawl the mobile version. If it`s responsive design, then it`s one version of the site that responds to mobile and even elements which can be hidden on mobile will get indexed and counted for desktop.
Ryan Jones: Rather than ask the question id make sure all the important stuff is on your mobile site.
Nathan Nikolay Gaidy: Ryan Jones off course but my menus are totally different on both and the bounce rate will be higher on the mobile version due to the site`s audience (B2B)
So i was wondering if i can force indexing the desktop version...
Ryan Jones: why would you have a completely different menu on both?
Nathan Nikolay Gaidy: Ryan Jones This is actually a temporary situation that will be resolved within a few week-months
I have no intention of putting links that open new tabs on the header rather moved them to the footer while on the desktop it is still user friendly at the top of the page while on the mobile version not so much
Stockbridge Truslow: This sounds like at least one (if not a series of) bad decisions where you`re looking for a quick fix. It`s like having a car with 2 flat tires and one spare. You`re asking if it`s better to put it on the left or the right. Ultimately, it doesn`t matter. The only solution is to get yourself 2 good tires.
Google is "mobile first" - which means if you have two versions of your site being served up (as you say you`re doing here) it`s going to index the mobile version. The only way to force it to index the desktop version is to get rid of the mobile version.
Hey
