How to appear in Top Stories of Google Search results

[manojpnchal]

Dear SEO Masters,

We are 2 years old news/media StartUp. We cover approx 40 trending news per day.
What I wanted to know is how to push our organic results into the TOP STORIES section of the google search results.

I implemented correct Structured Data (JSON-LD) to tell google which pages are news articles.
I also get AMP implemented correctly. We break stories on time, before many media houses but still did't appear in Google TOP Stories in search results. We are also present in Google News. (www.newsbytesapp.com)

What else should we do?

Google describes the carousel as “a container of articles, live blogs and videos”, so, this is where the required structured data makes Google perceive the content on the page. If your websites is supporting AMP in the paired mode, make sure that you have the same structured data on both the canonical and AMP pages.

Publishers select the stories inside their publications. The Google News Merchandising team picks the “Featured” publications In Newsstand Newsstand. The Google News Product Experience team can add temporary topics for major events. For example, an election or the Olympics. Algorithms display the top-ranked stories in those topics.

They simply need to create top notch content and comply to Google News content strategies. To be considered for the merry go round segment of "Top stories" on mobile, content should be distributed in Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) design with article-explicit organized information.

Don't forget to get crawled this URL using Google Search Console and select the right property. In the sidebar on the left, click on Crawl.
