Users who have your app installed might overlook it as a way to get the answers
|
||
they need. With App Indexing, deep links to your Android app appear in Google Search
|
||
results so users can get to your native mobile experience quickly, landing exactly
|
||
on the right content within the app.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
Google Search for developers can also help you re-engage your users in other ways
|
||
— by letting them interact with your app from a voice action, get deep into
|
||
your app from a search suggestion, or go back to your email reminders in Google Now. </p>

<li>App Indexing is flexible—you can direct search users to your app or website on a
