Google Discover Live Tracking
See which story is gaining reach through Google Discover – live.
NowMetrix shows your newsroom which articles are receiving visitors from Google Discover, how many readers are there now, and whether momentum is still growing.
The short Discover window
By the time the Search Console report arrives, the moment is often over.
An article can sit quietly for hours and then suddenly be recommended by Google Discover. New readers arrive within minutes – sometimes on a story nobody in the newsroom is actively watching anymore.
Search Console remains important for analysing what happened. During the shift, the team needs a different answer: where is the spike coming from, which story is affected, and is there still time to act?
Is the increase really coming from Google Discover?
Which story is gaining the additional reach?
Is interest still rising – or already beginning to fade?
Inside the live dashboard
One filter instead of guesswork.
Filter Top Pages by Google Discover. A spike in the overall curve becomes a concrete list of articles the newsroom can work with immediately.
What becomes visible
Not just the channel. The specific story behind it.
The answer needs to make sense at the desk within seconds – without opening a separate report.
Momentum at article level
The trend shows whether a story is taking off, holding its level, or has already passed its peak.
In context with every other source
Discover stays clearly separated from search, social, direct traffic, push, and other referrals, so the team responds to the signal that is actually moving the story.
Live and hindsight
Search Console and NowMetrix answer different questions.
One tool does not replace the other. What matters is whether you want to analyse past performance or act during the current newsroom shift.
Google Search Console
Review impressions and clicks over time, identify recurring patterns, and assess Discover performance strategically.
