<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">Using Google News is a great way to drive targeted traffic to your website. However, you need to follow certain guidelines to ensure that your content is properly optimized. This will help your site's ranking in the search engine.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">Google News provides users with comprehensive information that is based on what is happening in the world. In addition to this, the site lists articles from a number of different sources. This means that your content needs to be unique and well-written if you want to be included in the list. It's also important to make sure that your content is well-organized and contains the correct facts. If you follow these guidelines, you're more likely to be accepted as a Google News site.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">To get started, you need to fill out a simple form on the Google website. This requires you to provide your website URL, a short description of your site, a link to your legal notices page, and a link to your author page. The site will then automatically be considered for inclusion in the News and Top Stories sections. The site must also be verified in Google Search Console.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">To show Google that you are a credible and relevant website, it's important to include the proper headlines. These headlines should be informative, not overly promotional, and contain keywords that will be picked up by other journalists. Moreover, the news headlines should be between two and 22 words long. If you are a Spanish news site, you may be able to get your article listed on the first page of Google's search results.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">While it's important to meet Google's guidelines, it's even more important to make your content relevant to the audience. For example, if you're a soccer news portal, you don't want to include coverage of winter sports or the latest gadgets. Similarly, if you're a foreign news site, you'll find it harder to be listed on the top of Google's results.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">The Google News sitemap syndication platform is designed to level the playing field for content creators. It allows website owners to submit RSS feeds and other content to Google. Once a site has been approved, it will then be ranked based on its relevance to the user's query. You can use this service to ensure that your site's content is regularly updated.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">The recommended news section is only available to users who have signed up for Search History. Unlike the usual recommended articles feature, this section is based on the reader's history of searching for news articles on Google. Generally, the best news articles are those that are published by authoritative and credible websites. You can also subscribe to a news e-mail alert to be notified when your news articles match a user's search.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">If you're writing a listicle, make sure that your headline is informative and not overly promotional. For example, don't use puns or linkbait. Likewise, you don't want your headline to repeat keywords.</p>
