For example, any<br \/>\n  time they need to change context from a web page to an app, or vice versa, users are likely to<br \/>\n  encounter redirects, pop-up dialogs, and extra swipes and taps. Wouldn&#8217;t it be cool if you could<br \/>\n  give your users the choice of viewing your content either on the website or via your app, both<br \/>\n  straight from Google&#8217;s search results?\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Today, we&#8217;re happy to announce a new capability of Google Search, called app indexing, that uses<br \/>\n  the expertise of webmasters to help create a seamless user experience across websites and mobile<br \/>\n  apps.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Just like it crawls and indexes websites, Googlebot can now index content in your Android app.<br \/>\n  Webmasters will be able to indicate which app content you&#8217;d like Google to index in the same way<br \/>\n  you do for webpages today&mdash;through your existing Sitemap file and through Webmaster Tools. If<br \/>\n  both the webpage and the app contents are successfully indexed, Google will then try to show deep<br \/>\n  links to your app straight in our search results when we think they&#8217;re relevant for the user&#8217;s<br \/>\n  query and if the user has the app installed. When users tap on these deep links, your app will<br \/>\n  launch and take them directly to the content they need. Here&#8217;s an example of a search for home<br \/>\n  listings in Mountain View:\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Search results with an 'Open in app' button that takes the user to the respective app of the website\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kb-gorsel\/g-ec70d9bea3c0.png\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\"><\/p>\n<p>\n  We&#8217;re currently testing app indexing with an initial group of developers. Deep links for these<br \/>\n  applications will start to appear in Google search results for signed-in users on Android in the<br \/>\n  US in a few weeks. If you are interested in enabling indexing for your Android app, it&#8217;s easy to<br \/>\n  get started:\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/a\/google.com\/forms\/d\/1itcqPAQqggJ6e4m8aejWLM8Dc5O8P6qybgGbKCNxGV0\/viewform\" class=\"external-link\">Let us know<\/a><br \/>\n    that you&#8217;re interested.
