Yoast – WordPress News SEO Premium 13.1

WordPress News SEO Premium for Publishers and Content Creators

If you’re running a WordPress news site or publication, you’ve probably noticed that generic SEO plugins miss the mark. Google News has specific requirements, and without the right setup, your best stories can sit unnoticed while competitors dominate the results. WordPress News SEO Premium solves that. Created by Yoast — the team behind one of the most widely-used WordPress SEO tools — this plugin handles the technical setup your news content needs to get indexed and found.

Once installed, the plugin runs quietly in the background. Your team writes the stories; the plugin handles the sitemap updates, structured data, and indexing signals that would otherwise eat up hours of dev time.

What You Get With WordPress News SEO Premium

Everything in this plugin was built for how news actually works. Here’s the rundown:

• Automated news XML sitemaps that ping Google the moment you hit publish — your story gets indexed in minutes, not days
• Schema.org NewsArticle markup that creates richer, more eye-catching search results for your articles
• Google News compliance checks right inside the post editor, so you catch issues before going live
• Bulk editing for SEO titles and descriptions across multiple articles at once
• Canonical settings that stop duplicate content from hurting your rankings

Who This Plugin Is For

WordPress News SEO Premium works if you:

• Run a news website or digital publication on WordPress
• Publish regular news-style content on a magazine or blog
• Manage client sites that need proper Google News optimization
• Freelance as a writer or journalist hosting your work on WordPress

New to WordPress or been using it for years? Either way, the setup walks you through configuration with clear labels and helpful prompts. No guessing.

Getting Started Takes About 10 Minutes

Install and activate the plugin. Head to the new News SEO section in your dashboard. Pick your publication type, choose which post types belong in your news sitemap, and you’re done. The plugin handles the rest — generating and updating your sitemap automatically as you publish.

For individual articles, a News SEO box appears in your post editor. Preview how your story looks in Google News, check for compliance issues, and fix problems before anyone sees the article.

Why Pay for Premium?

Free SEO plugins handle general optimization fine. But news publishing operates differently — Google News cares about publication timing, structured data formats, and ranking signals that basic tools don’t address.

This plugin knows what Google News looks for. The built-in checks tell you exactly what needs fixing. No more wondering whether your technical setup is holding you back.

Premium also gives you access to Yoast’s support team when questions come up during setup or day-to-day use.
