Google News

Is your site hitting the headlines yet?

There are many news streams on the Internet but, when you’re talking about the sort of news search that everyone in the world has free access to, you should be talking about Google News. Google News isn’t a news publication in the traditional sense, being news stories drawn together from millions of sources, but that makes it so much more attractive from a business point of view. Getting into Google News with help from our team at Engage Web means your business can be worldwide news.

The difficulties of getting into Google News

As many advantages as there are in getting into Google News, there are difficulties barring the way. Google is interested in publishing high-quality news results that its users are going to want to read. To achieve this aim, the search engine maintains extremely high standards for its selection of news sources – standards that are possibly higher than any other area of Google.

It’s hard to imagine things being tougher with Google News than they are anywhere else on Google and the difficulties you’ll encounter when trying to become accepted into Google news are vastly different to the other challenges you’ll face with your SEO. Google looks for quality news content from its sources, plenty of it – and there are technical criteria that your website must adhere to as well. You also need to maintain this level – or you could easily find your website back out in the cold. Maintaining such a high level can be difficult, unless you have professional help, and that’s where our news writing services come in. We can also help optimise your site to fit for Google News.
