Key Takeaways
- You should use AMP if you want wider distribution of your content and if a high amount of your traffic is mobile, especially if you make a lot of editorial content.
- Work on passing the mobile-friendliness tests: use the Mobile Friendly Testing Tool, Search Console Reports and the separate tab within the Page Speed Insights tool; to check URLs in bulk, use URL Profiler.
- Even though mobile apps seem to offer lots of benefits for the business before you choose to develop one, think whether your app would add convenience, provide unique and/or social value, offer incentives or entertain!
