Google Creates 'Dedicated Placement' in Search Results For AMP Stories, Starting With Travel Category

Google says it will soon introduce a 'dedicated placement' in Google Search for AMP Stories in specific categories, like travel, along with components that let AMP Story creators embed interactive content. From a report: The dedicated placement -- a carousel of visual covers from Stories -- will appear beneath the Search bar on mobile for queries like 'Things to do in Tokyo' and 'The top 10 places to go in Tokyo.' Tapping on any of the covers will launch the corresponding AMP Story, which you'll be able to navigate using swipe gestures and scroll gestures. Swiping far enough to the left will open the next Story on the list. The new discoverability feature will roll out in the coming months on Search. AMP Story categories like gaming, fashion, recipes, movies, and TV shows will follow afterward, Google says.
