Newsroom OS – Google Discover, Google News, Schema & Editorial Workflow

Optimize articles for Google Discover, Google News, and web search. Add NewsArticle and LiveBlogPosting schema markup, Search Console traffic analytics, editorial assignments, and newsroom tools — directly inside WordPress. Works in Gutenberg and Classic Editor.

Who is this plugin for?
Perfect for:

News websites and online newspapers
Magazines and digital publishers
Editorial teams and multi-author WordPress sites
Sites targeting Google Discover and Google News traffic
Publishers who outgrew generic SEO plugins but still use Yoast or Rank Math
NewsArticle & LiveBlogPosting schema markup
Structured data built for publishers — not generic blog schema:

NewsArticle JSON-LD — @graph with Organization, WebPage, author Person, geo, about / mentions from entity tags
LiveBlogPosting — breaking news mode with live H3 updates and auto-expire
CollectionPage from story timelines; optional editor FAQ block (opt-in, off by default)
Wikidata entity enrichment on tags (lazy, on assign)
Richness presets (Minimal / Balanced / Full) — complements Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress
Google Discover & Google News optimization
Discover Score — pre-publish checklist: hero 1200px+, 16:9, headline quality, topic/tags, OG image, timeliness
Trend Radar — Google Trends + Google News RSS in the editor sidebar (localized by country)
Breaking news mode — faster IndexNow/Google ping, LiveBlog schema, optional “developing story” badge
Pro: real Discover and Google News clicks from Search Console sync (separate from the editorial score)
Newsroom OS vs Yoast SEO & Rank Math
Yoast SEO / Rank Math excel at meta titles, descriptions, XML sitemaps, and general on-page SEO.

Newsroom OS adds the newsroom layer they do not cover:

Google Discover readiness scoring in the editor
Google News + Discover Search Console analytics per writer (Pro)
NewsArticle / LiveBlogPosting publisher schema graph
Editorial workflow — tasks, My Inbox, chief dashboard, Chief Insights (Pro)
Author performance coaching tied to real traffic (Pro)
Smart tags, duplicate-tag guard, archive internal links, GSC traffic-drop alerts (Pro)
Use both together — Newsroom OS reads your SEO plugin meta and adds publisher-specific signals.
