How To Publish Content On Google News

Google Search can show links to news content in web results. Google Search also has a top stories carousel which highlights relevant news stories. There is also a News tab at the top of Google Search which helps people narrow their search results to focus on news-related results.

Previously, Google had an application process that sites had to go through in order to be listed on Google News. Now that has been abandoned and Google will automatically consider sites for Google News.

Is My Site Eligible For Google News?

In order for your site to appear in Google news, you need to produce relevant content. Here are some guidelines that Google uses to vet the content:

• Your site and content have a high level of expertise, authority and trustworthiness.
• Your site has a consistent history of producing original news material.
• Your site and content complies with Google News Policies.
