What the article checker looks at

One report covers the checks an editor would run before publishing. The Google checks read your article against Google's published policies. The writing checks measure it with fixed rules, so the same text always gets the same result.

  • Google policy (AdSense). Misleading or unsupported claims, dangerous advice, clickbait framing and sensitive topics that put ad revenue at risk.
  • Google News. Bylines, dates, sourcing and attribution, and whether opinion, satire or sponsored content is clearly labelled.
  • Google Discover. Sensational headlines, withheld information and other patterns Discover demotes.
  • E-E-A-T. Experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trust, each scored out of 25, with stricter standards for health, money and legal topics.
  • AI writing patterns. Em dashes, stock AI phrases, uniform sentence lengths and passive voice.
  • Headline. Length, specific words, numbers and clickbait signals.
  • Keyword and topic terms. Density, placement in the headline, intro and subheadings, and related subtopics you may have missed.
  • Readability. Reading grade, Flesch score, long sentences and long paragraphs.
  • Trust and structure. Byline, visible date, source links, statistics and quotes.

How to use it

  1. Paste the draft with its headline and, if you have one, the target keyword. Include the byline and date if your site shows them.
  2. Read the report. Start with anything marked Fail, then the warnings. Every issue comes with a specific fix.
  3. Fix and check again. Re-checking identical text never uses another credit. Publish when the report is stamped ready.

Who it's for

Bloggers applying for AdSense, news sites that want Google News and Discover traffic, SEO teams reviewing writers' drafts, and anyone using AI to help write who wants the final text to read like a person wrote it.

Questions about the checker

Is the article checker free?

Yes. Signing in with Google gives you 1 full report every day, including the Google checks. The writing checks and the free tools have no daily limit. Paid plans add more reports, the generators, history and PDF export.

Can I check an article before it is published?

Yes, that is what it is built for. Paste the draft text. Most other checkers need a live URL, which means the article is already indexed before you find the problems.

Does passing the check guarantee Google News, Discover or AdSense approval?

No tool can guarantee that, because Google makes those decisions. The checker catches the problems that most often get articles demoted, demonetised or rejected, so you can fix them first.

Do you store my article?

We never keep your full article. A saved report keeps the results plus the few sentences it quotes, so you can reopen it from your account. Deleting your account deletes them.

What languages does it support?

English. The writing checks are tuned for English prose.
