Godmother of all small businesses on the internet

But as we've learned, the "build it and they come" theory isn't so true. In our experience at SEJ, Google AMP pages are not real-time. Since we launched our AMP pages on March 29, 2016, we have not seen them in search results, even though we receive traffic to our site from AMP pages. We noticed an increase in traffic 9 days after launching our AMP pages. So basically it took Google 9 days to index our AMP pages. The SEJ team contacted Gary Illyes to confirm this.

These news articles will only appear in the AMP carousel if Google considers the content to be recent news on the topic you are looking for. The AMP carousel is a Top Stories carousel, so maybe your news articles are interesting enough for the carousel. Google will only display the Article, NewsArticle, and BlogPosting schema types in the carousel at this time.
