CheckArticle is live

Check a draft for Google policy, Google News, Discover, E-E-A-T and AI-sounding writing before you publish. One full report a day is free.

CheckArticle is live

Most article checkers want a live URL. By then the piece is published, indexed and shared, and every problem they find is a problem readers have already seen. CheckArticle works on the draft.

How it works

Paste the headline and the article text, add the main keyword if you have one, and run the check. In about 10 seconds you get one report with a score, a verdict and a card for each check: what passed, what needs a look, and what to change.

The report covers:

  • Google checks: Google's publisher and AdSense content policies, Google News, Discover and E-E-A-T, measured against Google's own published guidance.
  • Writing checks: phrases that make text sound machine-written, readability, sentence length and keyword use.
  • Headline checks: length, clarity and the clickbait patterns Google's Discover guidance warns against.

What it costs

Signing in with Google gives you one full report every day for free, including the Google checks. The writing checks and the free tools have no daily limit. Paid plans add more reports, the headline and meta generators, report history and PDF export.

What happens to your article

We never keep your full article. A saved report keeps the results and the few sentences it quotes, so you can reopen it later. Check the same text twice and it doesn't count against your reports.

No checker can promise Google News inclusion, Discover traffic or AdSense approval, because Google makes those decisions. What it can do is catch the problems that most often hold articles back, while you can still fix them.
