I have a small lifestyle blog hosted ina vps environment. The website speed is quite good, loading below 2sec. Now, what wondering me is google AMP. Is it necessary to have google AMP to rank higher? And also, if it is going to be compulsory in the future, why not now? I can compromise the design and looks for better speed. But, if it doesn't help me at all in ranking I wanted to stay with my original site and url.

What do you suggest?

  • Yes, Google seems to be boosting AMP pages in their news carousel, which ultimately draws maximum traffic.

    • Thank you for your reply! But I don't think a blog post will never have a chance to appear on the carousel. If the pros are just only for that I don't think I will install it as of now.
  • AMP is not an official Google ranking factor, AMP results can also help improve your search ranking. That's because AMP results are prioritized by Google and are presented on their own carousel at the very top of search engine results pages.

  • As long as 'Page Speed' is a ranking signal, AMP will be important for your website and will help in ranking higher. Let me stress 'Important' not necessary as yet. With AMP you would be able to reduce that last bit of load speed which google and users want.

    If you can invest time and resources to it, surely do it to make your website future-ready. But make sure the user experience is not hampered because of it.

    Ever second reduced matters.

    • Thank you for your insightful comment. My blog-design is a very simple one almost similar to the AMP reader mode. It seems there is nothing to lose in terms of design and feel. Once I had tried for like 4 hours...but came across some blog post who were against the amp. Now I am very confused about the amp to reinstall or not. AS you have said I would love to be ready for the future if Google is going to push forward more on AMP.

      I have another doubt. sorry! How fast the AMP content will be updated after editing the content on the website. Do we need to do it manually or just to wait for the google to crawl back the content for another week or month? Do you have any idea about that?
  • Hi there

    If you are looking to attract and engage more visitors to your site, speed on your site is key. Most visitors will immediately leave if the site takes more than 3 seconds to load, which is why AMP is a key implementation. If you have fast site speed, plus engaging content, your SERP (Search Engine Result Pages) will increase due to the low bounce rate that you may receive.

    In other words, if you have a very interesting content that people are looking for and interested in reading while having great speed, your ranking in search results will likely increase!
