Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results (web, news, etc.) based on your queries. Rather than sitting in front of Google News, and refreshing your search results every few minutes to see if there’s any new news, you can set up a Google Alert . When Google finds a new result that matches your alert, Google Alerts delivers the new results to your e-mail account. Search for the topic you would like to receive alerts for. As soon as you begin typing, a sample of your first Google alert will appear. If you are not getting the results you expected, you can change your search words to get different search results. For example, if you're a tech enthusiast interested in articles relating to home tech, you'd create alerts for "smart home tech", "home assistants", and "home automation." Learn what Google Alerts is, how it works, and how to use it effectively to monitor online mentions, track trends, and stay informed with real-time updates.
