Google not indexing H5P content in Drupal nodes

This search seems to find H5P content on h5p.org:

https://www.google.ca/search?q=site%3Ah5p.org+moderate+levels+of+vitamin...

Google can find my test page, so I know it's indexed:

https://www.google.ca/search?q=site%3Ah5pcse.agentic.ca+Accordion&oq=sit...

But Google can't find my H5P content within that test page:

https://www.google.ca/search?q=site%3Ah5pcse.agentic.ca+Vitamin+C&oq=sit...

Any ideas?

I think the biggest thing is that Google indexes the same H5P accordion content on Google but not on our site. Why?

Your site has probably not been properly crawled yet, see https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6065812?visit_id=1-636300864393167197-3428614482&rd=1.

It looks like Google doesn't always index the content of a page that's within an iframe – which is a bit strange. I guess the only ones who can answer exactly why is Google themselves. Perhaps they have a tool you can use to help you figure out why? 

I have read somewhere that they've stopped indexing content that isn't directly available when opening the page – meaning you should be able to find the content straight away without having to push buttons. I believe this is why many sites are moving away from tab panels.

I guess I'm asking whether others using h5p content are experiencing the same issue with Google not indexing their content? Seems like a deal-breaker if much of our content is in accordions, but nobody can find it through a Google search? I guess I'm also asking how the content on h5p.org did get indexed? Perhaps Google has changed something since that content was indexed a while back and it no longer does the same on new h5p content. At any rate, I can't believe this isn't more of an issue for h5p users.
