Introducing Google News performance report  |  Google Search Central Blog  |  Google Developers

Tuesday, January 12, 2021

Today we are launching Google News performance reporting to help news publishers better understand user behavior on Google News on our Android and iOS apps, as well as on news.google.com.

Publishers can access their performance report through Search Console by clicking Google News in the left navigation’s performance section. The report will include metrics like impressions, clicks, and click-through rate (CTR) that will help publishers answer questions like:

• How many times have my articles appeared to users in Google News?
• Which articles performed well in Google News?
• How does user behavior vary by country?

This report will appear for any site that appears in Google News. These insights are in addition to Search Console reports about Google Search, Discover, and the News tab on Search. Learn more about news content appearing in Google News.

For other questions or feedback on the new performance report, visit our Search Central help community.
