8. Tips for getting published with your press release at Google News
Tip #1:Use a suitable keyword in the title of your press release
Having a suitable keyword in your article headline is the single most important ranking factor at Google News.
Tip #2: Publish current press releases
Google News prefers to show up recently published articles.
Tip #3: Ensure that your press release fits to the content factors
Google News prefers great articles written in a high quality. Content factors for ranking at Google News are esp.:
- Headline max. 110 chars
- Articles with at least 80 words in one paragraph (!), not too long and not too many backlinks in the text. Google News does not like short sentences / paragraphs.
- Do not post one single sentence or word in every row of your press release
- Google News does not like posting a table of content in your press release because it looks like spam.
- Ensure that your text is written coherent.
- Image (min. 1200px)
Example for press releases which were not listed by Google News:
Reasons for not getting listed could be:
- headline too long for Google News,
- single sentences in every row and table of content integrated in the text
Reasons for not getting listed could be:
- single words in every row
- not any paragraph contains more than 80 words
Reasons for not getting listed could be:
- less coherent text, single words in every row and table of content integrated in the text
Two press releases which are successfully listed by Google News:
- Every paragraph contains more than 80 words, which is good
- Good written text without a table of content and many long paragraphs (each more than 80 words), only 3 blacklinks in the text
