Should I fetch in WMT with all 4 options?

[KempRugeLawGroup]

When we ask google to Fetch a page, I usually just do the desktop one. However, should I be using the other 3 options as well? Mobile Smartphone, Mobile xHTML, and Mobile cHTML? I guess since they give you the options, just doing desktop means that it won't go to mobile until a regular crawl, but I just want to make sure that is the case.

Thanks,

The case is when you have special website that serve different versions of site based on user agent. So in this case you want to see what GoogleBot could retrieve from your site. This also can assist you in mobile redirects too also based on user agents.

In only one way where can't help you - it's responsive web because there bots see only one version of HTML.

All the options for fetch in Google search console has a different purposes

Desktop - This is default and this option is for the website which can crawl images, videos, webpages and all that.

Mobile smartphone - This option is for Google smartphone crawlers.

Mobile xHTML - This option does not support rendering and Uses the SAMSUNG XHTML/WML crawler.

Mobile cHTML - This option is mostly for the Japanese feature phones which Uses the DoCoMo Google Mobile crawler and this option also does not support rendering.
