Google wants to organize the world’s information, and that means helping everyone share their voice. Blogs are an important way people can do that, and add to the vitality of the web in India and elsewhere.

Blog Compass is an app for Android that integrates with WordPress and Blogger.com, two of the largest blogging platforms in India. Once you’ve logged in with your WordPress or Blogger.com account, Blog Compass also connects to Google Analytics and Search Console, letting you see viewer numbers, traffic sources, demographic information, Google Search status, and popular Google searches that lead to your blog,
Blog Compass also analyzes your post history and the interests you tell it about. Based on this information, Blog Compass is able to provide detailed Google Trends data that is tailored to you and your blog. That can help in finding the next topic to write about. In our initial tests, we have found a majority of bloggers were able to post more often when using Blog Compass.
Blog Compass is currently in beta mode — we’re still adding features and fixing bugs based on feedback from new users. But if you are interested in helping shape the future of blogging tools in India and around the world, download the app for Android and tell us what you think!


As the product grows, we will explore support for additional blogging platforms, countries, and languages.

Have you ever thought about vlogging? If the answer to any of these questions is a Yes - then here's a chance for you to learn more about the exciting world of vlogging on YouTube!

  • Mumbai on (June 9) 
  • Hyderabad (June 15) 
  • Bangalore (June 16) 
  • Gurgaon (June 20)

The sessions will focus on helping bloggers & original content creators to learn more about using video as an alternative means of expression that could complement your existing content. The sessions will also cover the hows, what's & why's of the YouTube Partner Program. We will also be joined by some of our successful Indian YouTube content partners who will share their success mantras.

The entry to the event is free and is open to any blogger or original content creator. Since the events will be hosted in our office premise, we will only be able to accommodate a limited number of guests - so we encourage you to sign up for the event today itself. The registration form can be found here.
