Submitting Your Content: Google News Alerts

In order to be included in Google News Alerts, an article must be included in Google News and appear in the top ten results of Google News for specific search terms.

To see if a site is included in Google News, use our "site:" operator. Type the site's domain, for example [ site:url.com ], into the search box and click "Search News." If a site isn't currently included in Google News, click here and we'll be happy to review it for inclusion.

Articles sent out as a Google News Alert must be within the top ten Google News results for specific search terms (the terms that triggers the email alerts). This means that if an article appears in the top ten Google News results for the search term [ ocean ], anyone who's signed up for the News Alert [ ocean ] will receive that article, along with the nine other articles in the top ten.
