| <p>Google Search now helps users discover your app, with App Indexing. When users |
| search with Google on their Android device the results will include details of |
| relevant, indexed apps. The search results will include an install button that |
| takes users to your app in the Google Play store. And when your app is |
| installed, the user will be taken straight to the right content within it.</p> |

| <p>This free service expands your opportunities to turn the investment you’ve made |
| in creating an outstanding app or game into installs. </p> |
| |
| <p>Start now by adding deep linking support to your app, verifying your app’s |
| official website, and defining deep links. To learn how, check out these <a |
| href="https://developers.google.com/app-indexing/webmasters/details">instructions</a>. </p> |

| links already available to Google Search.</p> |

| |
| <ul> |
| <li> App Indexing will also be used as a ranking signal for all users on Android, |
| regardless of whether they have your app installed or not. |
| <li> App Indexing also helps drive use of your app — when your app is installed on a |
| user’s device, search results will include deep links to your app that bring |
| the user straight to the relevant app content. |
| <li> Use the App Indexing API to help users discover relevant content in your app |
| before they complete a query with auto-completions. |
| </ul> |
