I think this one comes down to industry vs colloquial definitions.
In the search industry, the organic search results are what you're referring to when talking about the ranking algorithm, and of a ranking factor being given an advantage.
Having other verticals integrated like maps, news, or this carousal are seen as different elements altogether (eg. local search, shopping search).
But of course, colloquially, "search" just means any result that comes up when you search on the page. So this has created some friction when Google says that Amp pages have no impact on search.
- Touche 9y agoI think Google is fully aware of what people mean when they say that AMP is given priority in search results. Insider terminology is an excuse to not confront the issue. This is why we can't have the discussion with Google; they are knowingly deflecting.
