Only the mobile version of the site is being indexed

We've got an interesting situation going on at the moment where a recently on-boarded clients site is being indexed and displayed, but it's on the mobile version of the site that is showing in serps. A quick rundown of the situation.

• Retail shopping center with approximately 200 URLS
• Mobile version of the site is www.mydomain.com/m/
• XML sitemap submitted to Google with 202 URLs, 3 URLS indexed
• Doing site:www.mydomain.com in a Google search brings up the home page (desktop version) and then everything else is /m/ versions.
• There is no rel="canonical" on mobile site pages to their desktop counterpart (working on fixing that)
• We have limited CMS access, but developers are open to working with us on whatever is needed.
• Within desktop site source code, there are no "noindex, nofollow, etc" issues on the pages.
• No manual actions, link issues, etc

Has anyone ever encoutnered this before?  Any input or thoughts are appreciated.  Thanks

Hi there

You need to let Google know this relationship between your desktop site and mobile site, and soon. I highly recommend reading Separate URLs from Google. This will give you everything you need.

Run through that with your web development team.

Hope this helps! Good luck!
