    The original idea behind AMP pages was that the search engines and other entities on the internet could access for mobile delivery, very fast loading pages.

    Google began by crawling a normal html page and analysing it as to content as well as SEO data such as Titles, descriptions, Open Graph data, schema etc.

    It would then add that page to the index and at the same time take note that an AMP page that was exactly the same was available.

    In the case of a mobile user that AMP page would be served instead of the full html page.

    Since that time AMP has become more and more feature rich and since Google’s “Mobile First” policy was announced things have changed.

    Full AMP copies of entire sites with menus etc have now become a viable alternative to having a mobile version of a site using whether responsive themes or plugins like WP-Touch.

    This means that Google is most likely crawling AMP pages/sites independent of the full HTML sites and thus creating a mobile only eco system.

    Before it was enough to have all the SEO data on the full HTML site but now it is just as important to have that same information available on AMP versions.

    The one reason I have not deployed this plugin on my money sites is that it strips out the SEO data from plugins such as All-in-One SEO, WP-Social and other plugins that control meta data like titles, descriptions, schema, open graph etc.

    Once it can do this then it really will be a contender.

    Hi Lance,

    I don’t have a working mobile phone because I’ve been arduously saving money to pay the lawyer who will do my foreclosure trial on May 20. Wish me luck!

    So, my question is: What do search results for AMP pages look like if they don’t include the All-in-One SEO data??? or Rich Snippets, or… whatever????

    Google doesn’t present amp pages in search results and there is no “AMP search.”

    What it does is SERVES an amp page to a mobile user if it is available.

    there are search results showing the AMP lightening bolt sign…

    If what you say is true, then what’s the whole thing about Google requiring a secure site in connection with showing AMP in search…?

    My friend with a mobile phone was over today. I had him search for keyword on my sites. My pages showed with with “AMP” and the All In One SEO that I’ve added back when I relied on responsive pages alone.

    My friend hadn’t known about AMP and was stunned by how fast my pages opened for him. It was milliseconds.

    I think your business sites would benefit from being “amplified”

    Also, when I first heard about AMP the way I saw it explained was a collaboration between several … entities, Google being one.

    The idea was that mobile phones took a long time to load pages, and users were on the go so it was highly inconvenient. Search engines weren’t the driving force as much as mobile phone users.

    I was going to post a link to the original video presentation I saw, but I think it may have been replaced…

    Hey @lancecarr

    Our plugin is fully compatible with Yoast SEO plugin. We are yet to add compatibility with All In One SEO. May i know what other plugins you are referring too. Let me know the names of other plugins you are referring too so that we can add those plugins compatibility.

    Hi AmpforWP,

    I use All in One SEO, and in Google search the Structured Data I have entered in All in One SEO appears for each page, along with “AMP”

    Look forward to seeing All-in-One SEO added.
    The other plugin is called WP Social and can be seen here: http://wpsocial.com/

    Hey @lancecarr

    We are about to add All In One SEO compatibility very soon and coming to WP Social, we have to test it before we add compatibility of that plugin.
