Set up your Google News publication

You can design, brand and customise your publication for Google News on news.google.com, Android and iOS.

To get started, log in to Publisher Centre, select your publication and click on Google News.

Select a category

When you set up your publication, make sure that you classify it appropriately so that readers can find it under the correct category in Google News.

Distribution

Important: Any changes to your international distribution settings are effective immediately.

By default, links to content from your publication are available to readers worldwide. If you'd prefer to limit this, you can either allow or block specific countries from seeing links to content from your publication.

You can also find your content on either all search results or only within specific Google products, such as Chromecast, Google Play and Google Assistant.
