Google news sitemap help

Using Ghost
1

Hello,

I would like to try and submit my site to google news. Unfortunately, I am not a developer (I’m trying!) and I am a visual learner.

I am using this ghost tutorial: Add your Ghost site to Google News

I am here: Create a template for the Google News sitemap

I literally do not know where to go to even start creating this. Does anyone one know of a visual tutorial? I tried looking on youtube. Many tutorials are geared towards Wordpress. Treat me like a preschooler, I am pre-basic developer. If that even makes sense.

Thank you to any one who takes pity on me.

Cathy

Hi,

You no longer need to create a Google News sitemap, you can use a standard RSS or Atom feed.

I use a standard RSS feed.

Articles will not appear on Google News immediately, if you are submitting a new source it can take up to 12 months to appear. Yes, the crawler will index your articles but they are not “guaranteed to surface or rank in Google News.”

Do you mind sharing what your site is and how we can view your RSS feed? I’m interested in hearing about people’s success in getting on Google News.
