Dropdown content on page being crawled
-
Hi, will the content within a dropdown on a page be crawled? I.e. if the page visitor has to click to reveal the content as a dropdown will it be crawled by bots.
Thanks

It depends. If the drop down uses ajax or related technology, it may be difficult for the spider to parse and may not be indexed. In most cases, yes it will be indexed. I guess we need to understand how the click has been implemented.

if you’re talking about and accordions or something similar it will be treated just like every other piece of content on the page this is because Google is so committed to Mobile first.
As well as Google‘s commitment to index almost all JavaScript
