App Indexing is a Google feature that allows mobile apps to be discovered and re-engaged through Google Search by adding deep links (URLs pointing to specific content within the app), enabling users to find and access app content directly from search results rather than just the app store, which helps apps stand out in the crowded app ecosystem and drives both new installs and re-engagement with existing users.
