Connect Search Console, see your Discover situation, and get a plan for what to fix first.

The missing half
Search Console shows what happened. We show why.
Discover has no keywords and Search Console gives no reasons. So we line your traffic up with what you published, what Google changed and what your pages are missing.

Four situations
Every site is in one of these. We tell you which, and why.
Search Console shows Discover numbers but no reasons, and Discover has no keywords to study. The diagnosis fills that gap.
Not in Discover yet
Your site gets no Discover impressions. We check what is keeping your articles out and what to fix first.
Shown, but not clicked
Discover shows your articles but few people click. We find the headlines and images that lose the click.
Getting traffic
Discover works for you. We show which topics carry you and warn you early when an article starts to fade.
Up and down
Big spikes, then nothing. We find what your best days have in common so you can repeat them.

Questions
Is this made by Google?
No. DiscoverGap is independent. It reads your own Search Console and Analytics data, with your permission, and compares your articles with Google's published guidance for Discover and Google News.
What access do you need?
Read-only access to Search Console, and optionally Google Analytics 4. We can never change anything in your accounts, and disconnecting deletes the data we stored.
My site has never appeared in Discover. Can it still help?
Yes. That is one of the four situations we diagnose. We check your most-shown articles for the things Google's Discover guidance names: small images, a missing large-image setting, no named author and clickbait headlines.
Is it only for news sites?
No. News sites get the Google News, Top Stories and freshness view. Blogs and evergreen sites get keyword opportunities: searches you almost rank for, searches competitors win and you don't, and related questions to cover.
Why does Google Analytics show so little Discover traffic?
Discover visits often arrive without a normal referrer, so Analytics files many of them under direct or unassigned. That is why we take Discover numbers from Search Console, which counts Discover clicks directly, and use Analytics only for engagement.
Can it guarantee Discover traffic?
No tool can. Google decides what appears in Discover. We show you what is holding your articles back and what has worked for your own site, so your decisions are based on your data, not guesses.
