Amano

Hosted blogging for people who publish.

Amano runs your blog on your own domain — the writing, the images, the URLs and the search-engine plumbing — so a publisher can spend the day on the article instead of the stack underneath it.

What Amano does

Write and publish

A rich editor with real drafts, categories, media and scheduling. Your posts are served from the edge in milliseconds, not rebuilt.

Your own domain

Point a domain at Amano and it serves your site under it, with an automatic certificate. No Amano branding on your pages.

SEO built in, not bolted on

Titles and descriptions per page, canonical URLs, sitemaps, RSS, redirects, robots.txt, structured data and instant indexing.

Rank monitoring

Optional. Connect Google Search Console and Amano keeps a daily record of the keywords you chose to watch, so you can see a position move over months.

Why Amano asks for Google access

One feature, and one permission. If you turn on rank monitoring, Amano asks to connect your Google account so it can read Search Console — the report Google already keeps about which searches showed your pages and where they ranked.

The permission requested is read-only, and it is the only one:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/webmasters.readonly

  • What it reads: the list of Search Console properties your account can see, so you can pick the one that belongs to your site — and then, for that property, the daily search queries, clicks, impressions, average position and the page that ranked.
  • Why: to show it back to you as a history. Search Console holds about sixteen months and answers slowly; Amano keeps a daily record of the keywords you chose to watch, next to the posts you wrote for them.
  • What it never does: write, change or delete anything in your Search Console account. It cannot — the read-only permission does not allow it. Your data is not sold, not used for advertising, not shared with other publishers, and not used to train any AI model.
  • Turning it off: press Disconnect in Amano, or revoke access yourself atGoogle Account → Third-party access. Either stops it immediately.

The full details — what is stored, for how long, and how to have it deleted — are in thePrivacy Policy.
