In addition to website management and monitoring tools, Blog Compass also offers suggestions regarding the topics one should write about based on a blogger’s interest, field expertise and relevant content that is trending. Also, the app doles out tips that can help users improve the quality of content they post and increase the traffic. The app is currently compatible with only two platforms, WordPress and Blogger.

The app, which has support for both Hindi and English, has a simple user interface and automatically connects to your Blogger or WordPress account if they are linked with the same Google account as the one used to access the Google Play Services. During the set-up process, the app also asks users to connect their Google Analytics account for more in-depth information such as per-page traffic, visitor demographics, etc.

As far as activity monitoring is considered, the app allows users to check metrics such as traffic source, Google search queries and visitor overview on a weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual basis. The app’s Topics section is divided into two categories, a personalized suggestions area which is populated by topics based on users’ interests and a trending area, which lists related topics that are currently generating traffic.

Blog Compass will also award badges based on the views generated and the number of posts a blogger has published. The app also has a Learning Center where one can learn the fundamentals of blogging as well as some advanced skills such as image and content optimization, ad management and website promotion among others.
