      Hello,

      I believe mobile indexing 1 st is in place. Since then, does google give  the same value to content that is hidden behind a tab (for example a question where you need to click on the + to see the answer) as content that would be directly visible ?

      Thank you,

        Yes, Google's been quite clear that once a site is in the mobile-first index, the content that only becomes visible on user interaction will no longer be discounted the way ti is now. But remember, the mobile-first index is slowly being rolled out on a site-by-site basis. So you'll need to do some specific investigation of your own site to know whether it has in fact been moved to the new indexing method.

        Hope that helps?

        Paul
