He mentioned this earlier than, saying that the final batch can be in July 2022 however then in August mentioned they weren’t finished. As a reminder, Google began its mobile-first indexing initiative over 6 years in the past, in November 2016. However we nonetheless have websites which are being migrated over from Google desktop-first indexing to mobile-first indexing on the finish of 2022.
