Google News: Technical Requirements for Publishers

In order to enable Google News to correctly include your content in its index you will have to meet the following technical requirements:

  • Your article's URL returns a good HTTP status code. For example, if it returns a '404', Google will ignore the article
  • Your articles should contain text, rendered in HTML, in order for us to be able to understand your content properly.
  • The titles of your articles on individual article pages should not be linked
  • The date stamps should be in the YYYY-MM-DD format to ensure the publishing date is recognized properly.
