AMP Data

Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) offer a rapid browsing experience for mobile users by ensuring near-instantaneous web content loading. This boost in speed can enhance user engagement, decrease bounce rates, and potentially improve search engine rankings. Furthermore, AMP's optimized and streamlined design can lead to greater ad visibility, consistent user experience, and reduced server loads, making it a beneficial tool for many publishers aiming for improved performance and monetization on mobile devices.

Milestone Insights provides in-depth data analysis on the performance of your AMPs for GA4.

Data Not Available

For some reason, if Milestone Analytics does not receive data for a particular time period, it will not appear on the data chart. Previously, this would appear as zero.

Schema Manager

Schema Vocabulary 22

Schema vocabulary is a collection of agreed-upon definitions for microdata tags. When these tags are added to a webpage, they create an enhanced description (often referred to as a "rich snippet"), which can appear in search results. 

Milestone Schema Manager has now adopted the latest Schema Vocabulary 22 to enhance your overall visibility on search for rich results. The new version of Schema Vocabulary comes with a whole new set of industry-specific schemas, schema properties that provide greater detail to pages, and clearer relationships across schemas and their properties. This all results in enhanced details for search engines allowing them to deliver various types of rich results using content on your webpages.

Schema Manager Filter

The ‘Schema Manager’ filter under ‘Search Performance’ in the Milestone Schema Manager’s Performance Summary section now displays search performance of webpages following schema implementation using Milestone Schema Manager. 

Select Schema Manager from the ‘Source Filter’ dropdown menu.
