Tips for Google News Inclusion

To improve the likelihood of Google News picking up your press release, PR Leap recommends following these four tips:
Top 30. Only the Top 30 press releases per day are considered for inclusion into Google News. It is to your advantage to make sure your news release is positioned in the Top 30 on its scheduled date of release.
Release Date. Press releases that include a date in the lead paragraph (first paragraph) earlier than the actual release date, typically do not get included into Google News. When including a date, make sure that it syncs with the actual release date.
Length Matters. If your press release is too short (less than 150 words or so), or too long (more than two pages or 500 words) it will be less likely to get included into Google News. News releases that are too short tend to read like an advertisement and are not considered newsworthy.
Duplicate. Duplicates are not accepted. If a press release has been previously released on Business Wire, PR Newswire, or PR Web, and was already included into Google News, than it is most likely not going to be included again.
