Can Google index and follow RouterLink links? – SEO

Assuming I have Angular 2 App, routing with RouterLink, Google can read it as a follow link and index it?

In other words: Can google bot recognize the routerlinks normally as links?

    It cannot, but you should take a look at Angular Universal. With it, you can pre-render your app on the server side and Google is able to understand it.

    This is the argument in Angular Universal:

    Optimized for Search Engines: Although Googlebot crawls and renders
    most dynamic sites, many search engines expect plain HTML

    So for google not needed

    but for other crawlers you might need.. Angular Univeral

    According to Google documentation googlebot can’t navigate through pages using routerLink.

    You can try and add both attributes – href and routerLink. In my tests the interactivity for the user didn’t change and it still worked like a single page application. I think googlebot should be able to follow the link thanks to href attribute and ignore routerLink, but I didn’t test it yet.
