Hi,

I have a simple question: you can implement Amp continuing to use mobile theme or one excludes the other?
Putting Amp on site, search results on Google by mobile will show only the amp pages?

In short, what is the best solution to use given that Google pushes to Amp?

Thanks

Hello,

These 2 elements will not work together unfortunately. AMP is a mobile theme by itself so it will be like using 2 mobile themes at once. You will have to either use one or the other unfortunately. I cannot recommend one or the other. It is up to each user to choose the mobile theme that he/she prefers.

Thank you!

Hey @Bintmusic

Let me simplify this.

AMP has first priority in the Google search so the organic visitors coming from search results and Google+ will see AMP pages of your site.

Direct visits, visits from the Facebook & other social networks will see the non-AMP version by default. So it’s better to have both (my personal opinion).

Hope this information will help you to choose the right option for your site.
