Get Your News Site Into Google News

Google Discover is a personalized recommendation feed on mobile devices. Unlike search where users enter queries, Discover automatically selects content based on user interests. This means a different algorithm: what matters is not keywords, but the site's topical expertise, image quality, and audience engagement. We've been working with Discover since its launch and know these nuances inside out.

Owners of news sites, online media, portals, and blogs with large amounts of content. If you publish articles regularly and want traffic from Google's recommendation feed — the audit will show exactly what's blocking you. This is also relevant for e-commerce sites with blogs and content marketing projects.

A complete check of technical readiness for Google News and Discover: compliance with Google News guidelines, indexing speed, XML News Sitemap, structured data (Article/NewsArticle), image quality (1200+ px, WebP), mobile optimization, E-E-A-T signals, traffic analysis and identification of decline causes. The output is a detailed report with specific recommendations and priorities.

Google Discover / Google News audit starts from $900. Price depends on site size and content volume. This is an investment that pays for itself in 1–2 months through traffic growth. We've been working with news portals since 2015 — this is our core expertise and niche strength.

First improvements are visible within 2–4 weeks after implementing recommendations: growth in impressions in Google Search Console (Discover section). Full effect — 1–3 months. For de-indexed sites, recovery may take 1–2 months depending on the severity of the issue.

Most common reasons: low-resolution images (need 1200+ pixels), missing max-image-preview:large meta tag, too slow mobile version, clickbait headlines (Google penalizes them), missing structured data. Our audit checks all these factors and provides a specific fix plan.

Yes, this is one of our key case types. We've restored visibility for dozens of portals. Process: audit of de-indexation causes, fixing violations, preparing an appeal, monitoring recovery. As Google Partners and Product Experts, we know Google's internal processes.

Google Discover and Google News auditing is our niche specialization since 2015. Most SEO agencies work with regular search and don't understand Discover specifics (interest-based algorithm, not keyword-based) and Google News requirements (publisher requirements, real-time indexing). We have Google certifications and Top Contributors/Product Experts status.

It depends. Discover and News work on top of basic SEO — if your site has serious technical issues (speed, mobile, indexing), those need to be resolved first. We check basic technical SEO as part of the Discover/News audit and recommend a full SEO audit if it's critical.

Key metrics: impressions and clicks in Google Search Console → Discover section; number of articles in Google News results; indexing speed for new content; organic traffic dynamics. We set up custom dashboards and provide growth forecasts for quarter, half-year, and year.

Access to Google Search Console and Google Analytics. If available — access to Google News Publisher Center. That's it. We'll conduct the audit, prepare the report, and discuss results on a video call. Implementation can be done by your team or our specialists.
