Ian Nuttall(@iannuttall):SEO question: how do tools like speedyindex.⁠com force Googlebot Mobile to crawl a URL without using Search Console? It doesn't seem to be backlinks or the Indexing API & my tests to capture referrers etc didn't find anything. I'll make a free and OSS tool if I figure it out!
