To ensure proper crawler access under Mobile-First Indexing, it is crucial that your robots.txt file does not block essential mobile resources such as CSS, JavaScript, and images. These resources are necessary for Googlebot (smartphone crawler) to correctly render and understand your mobile pages, which are now prioritized for indexing and ranking.
Key points to consider:
-
Do not block mobile pages or their critical assets in robots.txt. Blocking these can prevent Googlebot from fully rendering your mobile site, leading to incomplete indexing or lower rankings.
-
Ensure consistent metadata and canonical tags between mobile and desktop versions to avoid conflicting signals to search engines.
-
Use responsive design or properly linked mobile URLs to provide a seamless user experience and support indexing.
-
Place your robots.txt file only in the root directory with the exact filename "robots.txt" (all lowercase) to ensure crawlers can find it.
-
Understand that robots.txt only controls crawling, not indexing. A disallowed URL can still appear in search results if linked elsewhere. To prevent indexing, use
noindex
meta tags or password protection instead.
In summary, for Mobile-First Indexing, your robots.txt must allow Googlebot smartphone access to all mobile content and resources. Blocking these can harm your SEO by limiting what Google can crawl and index from your mobile site. Regular monitoring and testing with tools like Google Search Console can help identify and fix any mobile crawling issues.
