Submit your site to google news

To submit your website to Google News, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Meet Google News' requirements

Before submitting your site, make sure it meets Google News' requirements:

1. Content quality: Your site must have high-quality, original content that is relevant to a specific topic or geographic region.
2. Frequency of updates: Your site must be updated regularly with fresh content.
3. Content structure: Your site should have a clear hierarchy of content, with articles organized by category and date.
4. No duplicate content: Your site should not have duplicate content or thin content.

Step 2: Create a Google News sitemap

A Google News sitemap is an XML file that lists your site's articles and their metadata. You can create a sitemap using a tool like Google's Sitemap Generator or a third-party tool like Sitemap Generator.

Step 3: Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console

Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console (formerly Google Webmaster Tools) to help Google discover your site's articles.

1. Sign in to your Google Search Console account.
2. Click on "Sitemaps" in the left-hand menu.
3. Click "Add/Submit" and enter the URL of your sitemap.
4. Click "Submit" to submit your sitemap.

Step 4: Submit your site to Google News

Once your sitemap is submitted, you can submit your site to Google News.

1. Go to the Google News submission page.
2. Fill out the form with your site's information, including:
   • Site name
   • Site URL
   • Contact email
   • Description of your site
3. Upload your sitemap (the same one you submitted to Google Search Console).
4. Click "Submit" to submit your site to Google News.

Step 5: Wait for review

Google News will review your site to ensure it meets their requirements. This process can take several weeks to several months.

Step 6: Verify your site

Once your site is approved, you'll receive an email from Google News with instructions on how to verify your site. Follow the instructions to verify your site and complete the process.
