Analyze your blog's eligibility for Google News inclusion
How to Know If Your Blogger Site Is on Google News (Without Any Tech Confusion)
If you’ve been blogging for a while, you’ve probably heard about Google News and the kind of traffic it can bring. But here’s the thing: there’s no simple notification that tells you your blog has made it in. Most people don’t even know where to check.
I ran into this problem myself. My blog was getting decent traffic from search, but I couldn’t tell if any of it came from Google News. So I built a simple tool to help figure it out — no guessing, no coding, no SEO jargon.
What This Tool Actually Does
The Google News Inclusion Checker Tool takes your blog’s URL and runs a quick check. It looks to see if your blog or any of your recent posts are showing up in Google News results.
It’s sort of like having a window into what Google sees — and what it doesn’t.
Why It’s Worth Using
If your content ever gets picked up by Google News, it can make a big difference. I’ve seen posts that normally get 100 views shoot up to 1,000+ just because they were temporarily visible in News.
Here’s why that matters:
- News traffic tends to come in fast bursts — perfect for trending posts
- You build more credibility with Google
- It can help your SEO over time if you consistently publish helpful, timely content
Even if you’re not a “news blog,” it’s still smart to check. Tutorials, how-tos, and educational posts sometimes make it in too — especially if they’re fresh and well-written.
How to Use It (No Tech Skills Needed)
- Go to the tool (link to your Blogger-hosted tool page).
- Paste your blog’s homepage or a specific post URL.
- Hit the button. Wait a few seconds.
- You’ll see whether Google News is indexing your content or not.
If you get a match, that’s great — your blog is already in the mix. If not, don’t stress. This just means Google hasn’t picked up your content yet.
What If You’re Not in Google News?
Here’s what I recommend (based on what’s worked for me):
- Stick to publishing useful, clear, and relevant content — especially on trending topics
- Use proper formatting: H1 for titles, subheadings for structure
- Make sure your site is mobile-friendly and loads fast
- Include clear author info and an About page — this builds trust
There’s no magic trick, but steady, helpful blogging pays off over time. Google notices.
Why I Made This Tool for Bloggers
Honestly, I got tired of guessing. I wanted a quick way to see whether any of my content was getting picked up. That’s it. If you’re anything like me — running a Blogger site and focused on steady growth — this tool saves time and gives you useful insight.
No complicated dashboards. No SEO plugins. Just answers.
Final Thoughts
Getting your content into Google News isn’t something that happens overnight. But it helps to know where you stand. This little tool gives you a clear yes-or-no — and that’s a big step in the right direction.
Give it a shot. It only takes a few seconds, and you might discover your blog is already getting more attention than you thought.
