Mobile website indexing

[McSEO]

Hi

we have a mobile version of our website at mobile.gardening-services-edinburgh.com

its been live for 5, maybe 6 months, it has its own mobile-sitemap.xml

have tried submitting this sitemap to google and for some reason it does not index these pages

any ideas, most welcome

I check quick your site both desktop and mobile. Only that seems you missing is last step with sitemap. Please see here:
https://developers.google.com/webmasters/mobile-sites/mobile-seo/configurations/separate-urls
how Google recommend to annotate mobile webpages in sitemap.

Rest is ok - you have alternate pages on desktop to mobile; you have proper canonical from mobile to desktop; you have some JavaScript redirect based on window.width that works too. Just sitemap links are missing.

Why ever this page: /Edinburgh-driveway-installers.htm is indexed. The mobile friendly test workls on the sites I tested, also the not-indexed-once. So -> the bot see's the mobile version. Alternate and canocials seems to be ok, its just the indexing.

You tried a new sitemap? You should add the mobile url's included alternate in the existing sitemap:

 <code><urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><url><loc>http://www.yourdomain.com/page1/</loc></url></urlset></code>

You don't need BOTH sitemaps. You need ONE as i show you in mine link.

Like [Peter Nikolow](https://moz.com/users/view/397332) said, you need a special sitemap - that one for both like the code above or in his link i guess, or a special mobile sitemap. Your mobile Sitemap is not a mobile Sitemap, the mobile one should look like this:

 <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:mobile="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-mobile/1.0"><url><loc>http://mobile.yourdomain.com/article100.html</loc></url></urlset>
