This case study is the output of Google AMP implementation and its impact on Mobile Search Results. We have seen tremendous improvement in organic mobile search results in the past few months with 43,023 new sessions as of today.

We have also installed the Google AMP analytics for an accurate analysis of data.

Data Analyzed: Organic Search Traffic on Mobile (updated)

Data Obtained From:  Google Analytics, Google Analytics for AMP(Accelerated Mobile Pages)

The Challenge: Recycleinme.com is a marketplace for scrap and recyclables which has a separate section for Industry news, scrap prices etc. It is a 14 year old portal developed with ASP.net and SQL server. We started working on this complex site as it was custom coded with a variety of advanced features. The site attracts over 2000 unique visitors a day but the mobile user ratio was considerably less. So we decided to make it fast loading with AMP Implementation.

AMP Implementation: Our AMP implementation team successfully implemented and tested AMP on RIM by July 28th 2016. The page speed immediately shot up 20 points from a score of 63 to 83. We decided to see the impact of AMP in the mobile search results as AMP is 100% for mobile search and will not impact Desktop Searches. We started seeing positive movements in the mobile traffic after a couple of days and decided to run it for a period of time to see the impact of AMP on mobile searches.
