News SEO

NewsArticle schema and Google News sitemap eligibility for time-sensitive content.

3 min read

News SEO adds NewsArticle schema and the metadata Google News looks for — publication name, publish date, and article section — to help time-sensitive posts qualify for News-specific placements.

What it adds

  • NewsArticle schema with publisher, publish date, and section
  • A News-specific sitemap covering recently published articles
  • Fields for dateline and article section that general Article schema doesn't need

Note

Google News has its own publisher-approval process outside of Seofyme; this module supplies the technical prerequisites, not eligibility itself.
