Tuesday, February 02, 2021
Discover is a popular way for users to stay up-to-date on all their favorite topics, even when they’re not searching for something specific.
Publishers and site owners can already access theDiscover performance reportto review important metrics about how their websites perform in Discover in the Google app on Android or iOS.
Another way people encounter Discover content is when they open a new tab in Chrome on Android or iOS, where Discover also lives.
Previously, Discover traffic from Chrome hasn’t been included in the existing Discover performance report.
We are now providing a single place in Search Console to see all your site’s Discover impressions and click stats, including from Chrome.
Over the course of the next few months, this data will gradually appear in your site's Search Console Discover performance report.
This means your site's reported traffic levels may rise from where they were.
Starting with a small percentage of traffic today and rolling out gradually, Discover traffic from Chrome will be using a
neworiginreferrerhttps://www.google.com/so it is consistent with what’s used for Discover on the Google app. This will replace the previouswww.googleapis.com/auth/chrome-content-suggestionsreferrer.
For questions or comments on the report, you can drop by our Search Centralhelp forums,
or contact us throughour other channels. Also see
