Measuring the Google News section
What does the Google News Performance Report include?
Although news publishers were able to see part of their performance on Google through the general report filtered by content type, the information now moves to a specific section with more detailed data.
The new performance section will be familiar to Google Search Console users as it features a similar format to other reports on the platform. The main metrics are impressions, clicks and CTR .
Taking these metrics into account and filtering traffic by page, country, device and date, news publishers will be able to learn relevant information such as: how many times the articles have appeared in Google News, which have obtained the best results or how user behavior varies depending on the country.
