Google launched Google Alerts over 20 years ago to monitor new mentions of specific search terms.
  • Google Alerts monitors the internet for new mentions of search terms you're trying to target.
  • You can set up a Google Alert for any search term, and customize or delete it anytime.
  • Google Alerts can be delivered to you immediately, or at specific times of the day or week.

When you want the latest updates on a trending news story, to know who won the game you couldn't missed live, or see what new shows are dropping onto Netflix this week, chances are that you turn to a Google search.

But what if you didn't even have to spend time searching because Google had already sent the exact information you wanted right to your inbox?
