Likewise, Facebook will be able to “directly” open to the “relevant page” inside an app through any Android mobile users’ “Google search results”.

"When people search for public Facebook content on the mobile web, those who use Facebook for Android can now click through and go straight to the Facebook app”.
In an introductory launch Google came up with Android apps for indexing purpose in the beginning of this year, which was followed by iOS apps. Consequently, users were able to access required information in an app with the help of “deep links” and “search results” which was being “indexed by Google”. Initially, the said service partnered with only handful apps but soon its success made it open its doors to “all developers who wanted their apps indexed”.
Moreover, given the functional availability of iOS, it is expected that the “Google-Facebook partnership” will soon extend its field to “the Facebook for iOS app”. Until now, Google searches tapped at the “publicly-available Facebook information”, whereby it guided the users to the “Facebook mobile website”.

Furthermore, the agreement will take into consideration the benefit aspects for “both Facebook and Google” as the users of Google search engine optimisation facility will “spend more time within the Facebook app” thus availing “social network” services, while the experience of “mobile search feature(s)” would be made “more attractive”.
