Thank you for your interest in sharing your content with Google News!

Prior to submitting your site, we have a couple preliminary questions. This short questionnaire should only take about 15 to 30 minutes. You should make sure not to refresh or close your browser or you'll lose your progress.

Before you answer these questions, we ask that you first check to see if your site is already included in Google News. Use our [site:] search operator from the search bar on the Google News homepage new window to search for articles from your site. For example, if your site is located at www.example.com, you would use [site:example.com] as a search query. (If your site is already included and successfully crawled by Google News you will see some articles appearing in search results).

Have you searched for your site's articles and ready to get started?

Yes, let's get started.
No, not right now.

Have you, or anyone from your organization, ever previously submitted your site for inclusion in Google News?

Due to the large number of publishers with whom we work, it can take several weeks for a site to hear back from our team.

If you’ve previously submitted a site for inclusion in Google News and not yet received a response, please check your inbox for a message you should have received. We require that you respond to this message before we review your site.

Submitting multiple inclusion requests or sending multiple messages can cause severe delays.

Has the Google News team reviewed your site within the last 60 days?

Yes.
No.

Due to the large number of publishers with whom we work, we’re unable to review your site again at this time. We’ll keep your site’s information on file and review it in the future should our guidelines change.

We strive to be as objective as possible when applying our quality guidelines for inclusion. We'll be happy to review your site again and give it another look. Please note that due to the large number of publishers with whom we work, we'll be unable to provide detailed feedback for individual sites. We encourage you to review our quality guidelines before requesting an additional review of your site.

Have you made significant changes to your site since Google News last reviewed your content?

No.
Yes.

We're unlikely to include your site or review it again if your content does not follow our quality guidelines. Likewise, we expect publishers submitting their content for additional review to have made substantial changes to their sites.

We appreciate your interest in Google News, but are unable to review your site again at this time.

Does your site's content primarily consist of news articles that report on timely events and ideas?

No.
Yes.

Sites included in Google News should offer timely reporting on matters that are important or interesting to our audience. We generally do not include how-to articles, advice columns, job postings, or strictly informational content such as weather forecasts and stock data. If your site does not include news content, we cannot accept it in Google News.

If your site is not a good fit for Google News, there may be other Google products where you can share your content. Learn more about submitting your content at Google.

Does your site primarily consist of original and unique articles, produced and edited by your organization?

No.
Yes.

Original reporting and honest attribution are longstanding journalistic values. Google News currently does not accept sites that are primarily aggregators of previously published content.

If your site is not a good fit for Google News, there may be other Google products where you can share your content. Learn more about submitting your content at Google.

Does your site have accessible contact information and fully attributed authors?

No.
Yes.

Users tell us they value news sites with certain levels of accountability. If your site does not have attributed authors and clearly accessible contact information, such as physical address, email information, or phone numbers, Google News will be unlikely to include your site.

If your site is not a good fit for Google News, there may be other Google products where you can share your content. Learn more about submitting your content at Google.

Are the sections of your site that you’re submitting for inclusion into Google News free of links to articles that primarily consist of promotional material, classified advertisements, or other product listings?

No.
Yes.

Google News is not a marketing service. We don’t want to send users to sites created primarily for promoting a product or organization. If your site contains this type of content alongside your news content, Google News will be unlikely to include your site.

If your site is not a good fit for Google News, there may be other Google products where you can share your content. Learn more about submitting your content at Google.

Your articles' URLs are unique, permanent, and contain at least three digits.

Your article pages are HTML format and body text not embedded in Javascript.

Do your individual article pages conform to our technical guidelines?
