Hello,
Thank you for reaching out regarding Google News sitemap requirements.
To be listed on Google News, having a Google News sitemap is crucial. With Rank Math, creating a Google News sitemap is simplified, especially with the Pro version. The Pro version offers additional features and functionalities that can enhance your website’s performance on Google News.
While you can directly add your website to Google Publisher Center (https://rankmath.com/kb/google-news-requirements/), having a Google News sitemap created using Rank Math, even without the Pro version, can significantly improve your chances of being indexed on Google News.
If you are looking to maximize your website’s visibility and ensure compliance with Google News guidelines, upgrading to the Pro version of Rank Math would be beneficial. However, creating a basic Google News sitemap using Rank Math’s free version can still be effective in getting your website listed on Google News.
Feel free to explore the options available and let us know if you have any more questions or need further assistance.
Thank you.
