This Google News Sitemap Generator plugin creates a custom sitemap (site map) for your WordPress site that fully complies with Google News requirements.
Let me explain it simply 👇
📰 What does it do?
When Google News indexes news websites, it requires a special XML sitemap.
This plugin does exactly that:
-
Automatically collects your latest news posts (for example, from the last 7 days).
-
Generates an XML file in the proper Google News format (e.g.,
https://yourwebsite.com/google-news-sitemap.xml). -
Once you submit this file to Google, your news articles will be crawled and indexed much faster on Google News.
⚙️ Key Features
-
Choose which categories to include in the sitemap.
-
Set how many days of recent news should be included (e.g., “last 7 days”).
-
Automatically adds your publication name and language code (e.g.,

The sitemap updates automatically whenever you publish a new post.
-
The system also performs hourly checks to keep the file up to date.
