How people experience the web on mobile devices is changing and AMP is a response to that. For digital marketers, this means keeping up with the latest technology and tracking metrics that matter.
“Today, most people are searching on Google using a
mobile device. However, our ranking systems still
typically look at the desktop version of a page’s content
to evaluate its relevance to the user. This can cause
issues when the mobile page has less content than the
desktop page because our algorithms are not
evaluating the actual page that is seen by a mobile
searcher.

AMP (accelerated mobile pages) and the "new" mobile web. I want my key takeaway to be that how people experience the web on mobile devices is changing and AMP is a response to that. For us, it means keeping up with the latest technology and updated metrics (engagement vs. clicks).
According to official Google statements, more than 50 percent of search queries globally now come from mobile devices.

Now that you know what amp is, how to implement it and how to track it - what industries should take advantage? publishers, if you’re publishing articles on your site, go ahead and try it. E-commerce and retail!!! (use ebay as an example). And recipes! Our team recently met with LOL and we’ve convinced them to test AMP on a handful of high opportunity recipes, so they’re in the process of building this out now.
