Hello,

I have an Android app, iOS app, mobile website & desktop website. We have just enabled App Indexing in our apps (and done required changes in our sites). My query is that my business is a hyperlocal business and location of the user at the time of using the application is very criticial. For e.g. we need user's location (using GPS) when the app is launched for the first time.

When Google is indexing my app, i am seeing that it is stuck at the location choosing screen (checked using "Fetch as Google" screenshot). I am suspecting that this is affecting my indexing relevance. Do you have any suggestions to improve this?

Is there a plan to enable any features in this regard?

Thanks
Vinay

Hi Vinay,

Could you provide the name of the app and a sample search query, preferably as a minimal code sample? Also any device/version info you can dig up? Feel free to ping me the name directly if you don't want to share that on the list.

☼, Kato
