With Discover monitoring, you’ll be able to visualize what content is trending on Google Discover all over the world filtering by country, language, city, topic, publisher, and time period.
You can track high level trends at a country-level in the present, or get super specific and look at what was performing in a single city like Miami during a specific timeframe.
Furthermore, you can delve into the data of specific competitors, to understand the stories and topics that are performing for them and take action. As you can see here, this publisher seems to have hit on something with food and product recalls.
With this kind of data at your fingertips, you can drive real time tactical changes, like jumping on a hot topic and getting something out there to ride the wave, but you can also make bigger strategic decisions, like using long-term trends to detect gaps in your evergreen content that can win you more traffic.
