7. Google is moving to a mobile first index any day now.
They will index based on the mobile site, so you need
to get it ready. If you only have an app or a desktop
site with AMP, you are behind.
Mobile First –
What does it
mean?
• “More than 50 percent
of search queries
globally now come
from mobile devices.”
– Google, August
2016

8. Notice how there is no (or
very little top navigation
here for BGR. That’s
important.
AMP is tricky; there’s a lot to
see here. First, on the left is
the AMP carousel. This is a
featured area of Google’s
search results that is only for
AMP pages. But as you can
see on the right, when the
user clicks through the
carousel, there’s a swipe
navigation that takes them to
the next page in the carousel.
So even though you’re on
bgr’s page, swiping will take
you to the next page in the
carousel, which is from The
Verge.

17. Using Filters - Simple
“Only show” or
“Don’t show”
Selection
criteria
#SEJSummit@jennyhalasz
18. Using Filters – Regular Expressions (Regex)
Selection
criteria
✓ Use | to separate items – creates “OR”
✓ Use .* as a wildcard
.*/category means match anything before /category
category/.* means match anything that comes after category
✓ Test your expressions on the actual report

20. Pro tip: If you edit out the date specifics in the URL, then you can use that URL anytime and it will
default to the dates you selected in the interface. So you can paste an edited URL into a dashboard and it
will save that specific configuration in the dashboard link so you don’t have to do it manually each time.
It even works with regular expressions!

25. Speed
• Look for:
• Third Party tags
• Large product images
#SEJSummit@jennyhalasz
26. Speed – Google Page
Speed Insights Example
• Breaks out Mobile and Desktop
• Shows items important to Google
• Explains how to fix
BUT…
• Doesn’t give detailed info like TTFB
• Grades based on compliance, not
actual speed
• Isn’t directly tied to SEO
#SEJSummit@jennyhalasz
27. Speed – GT Metrix Example
#SEJSummit@jennyhalasz
28. GTMetrix gives you so much more detailed data –
like what specific tags are keeping your site from
loading quickly, or whether the root cause of slow
speed is at the server level or the page level.
