Name your publication
To identify your publication, the name you provide is used throughout the Publisher Center.
Important: Names in Publisher Center aren't used for Google News or the "News" tab of Google Search.
Based on your "site name,” names in the Google News and "News" tab of Google Search are automatically generated.
Add a primary website property URL
Important: Google is unable to guarantee uninterrupted processing of your articles after a domain change. We recommend that you review how to tell Google when your site moves.
The primary website property is usually your site’s domain, but can also be a sub-domain or a URL prefix property, such as:
- A URL with the specified prefix and protocol (https://example.com).
- A domain property with all subdomains and multiple protocols (example.com).
Learn more about domain properties here.
You can only create one publication per website property. Make sure to verify your domain in the Search Console.
