That’s because conventional search engine optimization (SEO) campaigns do not work as effectively on Google News compared to Google search.
The ranking system of Google News is unclear. Factors like content originality and editorial interest play a crucial role in search engine optimization (SEO) for Google News.
According to Danny Sullivan, a contributor for Search Engine Land, Google News also uses the number of clicks of a story attracted to rank it.
