Publishers Report Content Missing From Google News Tab Despite Being Indexed in Search
TLDR
Publishers report content is being indexed and ranking in Google Search but sporadically missing from the Google News tab, sometimes appearing much later.
Optimixed Overview
Optimixed's original report on this story.
SERoundtable reports that some publishers' content is appearing in Google Search results and being crawled and indexed, yet portions are not showing up in the Google News tab—or appearing significantly delayed. The pattern appears random and reproducible by the outlet, suggesting a potential indexing inconsistency between Search and the News tab.
