Why does Google not index all my pages?

Should Google remove HealthTap pages from their index?

  • When I visit the website from Google Search on my iPhone, it appears the site doesn't let users read the web content unless they download its iPhone app? Is this a bug? I don't understand why Google even bothered to index them if they don't let users read their content.

  • Answer:

    Hi, great question. Actually this functionality is common to a lot of sites. If you try to access a service from your mobile web browser, many sites encourage you to download their native mobile app for an optimized browsing experience. However, the best practice is to generally include a link that allows the user to still continue onto the website if they so choose. So, even with the example you provided, HealthTap provides a link on the bottom of the screen to "Continue to website". Clicking this does take you to your content, as intended. So all in all, it seems to conform with the general user flow that many websites employ.
