How to Submit a Press Release to Google
Press releases submitted to Google are displayed on Google News, so before you submit a press release, you must be a Google News provider. To become a Google News provider, you'll have to answer a few questions about your content and submit an online form that lists items like your contact information and the URL to your press release. Remember, however, that Google reserves the right to include whatever news it chooses, so just because your press release qualifies does not mean that it will be published on Google News.

Answer the questions that appear on the next page by indicating "yes" or "no." These questions regard the content of your press release and stipulate that Google News only considers the inclusion of a website, a mobile site or a YouTube video channel. If your press release does not appear in one of these formats, it will not be considered for publication in Google News.
