How to see visits from Google Quality Raters

Publytics allows you to check when and where Google quality raters visit your website in the "Google Quality Raters" report. Have you wondered how to tell whether a Google quality rater has visited your website? Do you fear a quality rater has applied any manual action on your website?

Google Rater Hub, or the "search quality evaluation program," is a system that uses external “Quality Raters” to evaluate the quality of Google search results. These raters do not directly determine the ranking of websites in the SERPs, but provide Google with human feedback on the relevance, accuracy, and usefulness of the results to user queries. The overall user experience and search algorithms are improved as a result of this feedback.

Specifically, Quality Raters perform different activities:

  • Check if content is AI-based and low quality: If you abuse AI content generators for your website, they can flag your content for being low quality AI-generated content.

  • A quality analysis of search results: They check the relevance, accuracy, quality and reliability of web pages suggested by Google for specific queries.

  • Follow Google's guidelines: They rely on specific guidelines, called Quality Rater Guidelines, to evaluate search results objectively and impartially.

  • Tips for Improving Algorithms: Their ratings are used to improve Google's ranking algorithms, helping the search engine better understand what users want and produce more relevant results.

In this report Publytics correlates visits from Google Quality Raters with pageviews from all Google sources (such as organic search, Google Discover etc.).
