You can submit for review once you set up your publication and verify your site ownership. This review checks if you follow our technical requirements and content policies.
Before you submit for review
Important: You won't be able to submit your publication to Google News until identified issues are resolved.
To ensure that your publication set-up is ready for review, Publisher Center provides automated checks on required fields before you can select Publish. If your publication has any issues, it shows up under the "Google News app publishing status" section.
How it works
Important:
- After you submit your publication, you can check your status in Publisher Center. To receive email updates about your publication’s status, make sure your contacts in Publisher are accurate.
- To ensure that your content meets our standards for eligibility, there’s a series of verification processes to review your publication after you submit for review.
- Our content and behavior policies help ensure a positive experience for our users and publishing partners. For your content to be eligible to show up on Google News, it must follow Search and News policies.
Publication status
Important: Periodic re-reviews of your publication may occur and result in a change of status.
The review process allows you to set up a publication page for users to visit in the Google News mobile and computer apps. However, the use of Publisher Center doesn't mean that your content will show up in Google News search results or on other Google News surfaces.
