  Hi
  For some reason google is not indexing my website for mobiles. Do I have to change some sort of settings for this to happen? I have attached a picture explaining what I mean:

  

  Also I have way more images than “7”. Why aren’t they being indexed either?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  I just wanted to let you know that I’m currently investigating this. I believe mobile site maps are only required/supported if your site is serving an m.domain.com URL. Since your site is a mobile-responsive version of the desktop interface, a mobile site map isn’t required. We automatically generate a site map for your website as explained here:

  I’m looking into the image-indexing question, and will have an answer for you as soon as possible!

  Hi!

  I was able to confirm my thoughts regarding the mobile sitemap. Responsive sites do not need a mobile-specific sitemap as the content is not being served from a mobile-specific domain. The traditional sitemap will work correctly in that setting.

  Regarding the images, currently, there is no way for users to add images to their sitemap or specifically index certain images. The sitemap is automatically generated by WordPress.com.

  Let me know if you have any additional questions!
