The Rise of AMP in Web Searches
Take a look at Google’s home page. What catches your eye? Not much. Google has proven that (on the internet at least) simplicity is king. Recently we have seen a trend towards simplicity in page layout, imagery, and even written content. Finally, web developers are getting on board. The Google Developers team has lead the charge in developing AMP HTML, which they describe as “HTML with some restrictions for reliable performance and some extensions for building rich content beyond basic HTML.” (For more on that, click here.)

It gives Google more content to categorize and pull from when potential clients and customers are searching the web. Unfortunately, not all content is created equal. Just as Google […]
