Google is very strict on what actually constitutes news and whatnot. Google has mentioned that they do not include advice columns, how-to articles, job postings, or other such informational content as news. They accept only the genuine news stories, no matter; you can posts news specific to your industry and niche.
2. High-Quality Writing:
Make sure that your team holds exceptional news writing skills if you wish to get featured on Google News. Google assesses quality before featuring content in Google News so make sure you are not simply republishing the same news by changing its words. Use terms that people search for finding the information and try to avoid that people will never use while finding content. Try to include proper names in heading and at the front.

There are some technical requirements that you will need to meet in order to get your content featured on Google News. These requirements include:
- Article URLs must be unique and must include at least 3 digits.
