A Google News sitemap is a special sitemap that only includes news articles. It enables Google to quickly find your news articles and display them in News search results. It's different from other sitemaps and should only ever include news articles, never other types of content.
While not required, it's recommended to add your site to Google's Publisher Center and have it approved. This provides additional benefits including content and branding control, monetization opportunities, and placement eligibility for Google Newsstand.
The News Sitemap feature is available to customers with a Pro plan or above. Upgrade to All in One SEO Pro today to get news sitemaps and many more features!
The first step is to have a properly coded Google News sitemap.
You'll also want to make sure your entire website is SEO friendly. Using the SEO Site Analysis tool in All in One SEO, this is a simple task.
Your content should also be optimized for SEO, just like any other blog post you want to rank in search results. With our TruSEO Score Analysis, you can easily optimize each news article.

No, All in One SEO does not create a physical file for your sitemap. Our sitemaps are all virtual web pages that are dynamically generated whenever a crawler visits the sitemap URL. This way it's always up-to-date, there's never an issue with it getting accidentally deleted, and you don't have to worry about server-side file permissions.
Yes! You can exclude specific posts or pages from your news sitemap using the Advanced Settings. However, note that this doesn't stop Google from finding this content on its own — it just prevents it from being included in your news sitemap.
