How to get new websites to show in Google News tab?

Last year they removed the sign up for websites and state it’s now automated. A client of mine has been regularly posting news (82 articles in total over the last year) and doesn’t appear at all in Google News. He’s done everything in publisher centre and on the site’s structured data and I’ve looked over it and all seems fine.

This is more specific for time sensitive news as sites with Google News just rank and index instantly. (His sites DA / DR is 55 and still takes an hour or so to properly index new posts missing out on key traffic). Compared to spammy AI news sites with DA or 8 that just happen to have Google News and rank ahead of his site.

Willing to pay if someone knows someone who can just flip the old Google News switch on his account

For added context he has:
Author bios
Real Author names (no pseudonyms)
Author pages showing experience
Consistent bylines
Contact info
Editorial policies page
Corrections policy page
About page with editorial team

and the pages are hosted on . com/news/

Don’t think this is possible, but you can try telling him to add Google’s Indexing API to his website, and ensure that the website is correctly added to Google Search Console with optimized RSS feeds.

The new way is following E-E-A-T framework which Google uses to evaluate content quality and is an acronym for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness.
