Three content formats built for newsrooms
The exact pages readers click — and AI engines cite
Each format ships with E-E-A-T scaffolding (journalist bylines, credentials, last-updated timestamps, .gov / .edu citations) and editorial review built in.
Breaking news coverage
Fast, structured news pieces with NewsArticle schema, live-updates block, named-entity tagging and source citations. Drafts ready for editor review in under 90 seconds — auto-submitted to Google News and the Indexing API on publish.
Example
Fed cuts rates 25bp — markets rally, traders eye June
- NewsArticle schema with live-updates block
- Auto-named-entity tagging for AI extraction
- One-click publish + Google News submission
Explainer journalism
Context-rich long-form that AI engines reach for when readers ask 'explain X'. Definition-dense opening paragraphs, citable stats, FAQ blocks and authoritative external citations — the structure ChatGPT and Perplexity prefer to extract.
Example
Explained: how the new EU AI Act affects US startups
- Definition density + entity coverage
- FAQ blocks AI engines extract directly
- .gov / .edu / tier-1 source citations
Editorial — analysis & opinion
AI engines disproportionately cite editorial from outlets with consistent expert voices because it carries E-E-A-T weight. Indexly's editorial template includes byline, credentials, citation graph and freshness signals tuned for AI engines.
Example
Why housing affordability matters more than the rate cut
- Author byline + credentials + reviewed-by
- Analysis schema + citation graph
- Freshness + authority signals for AI

Built for newsroom standards — every page passes the bar
News and editorial content lives under Google's strictest quality rules. Every Indexly news page ships with journalist bylines, credentials, last-updated timestamps, .gov / .edu / tier-1 citations, and an editorial standards page in the citation graph — the signals AI engines reward.
- Journalist byline + credentials + reviewed-by line
- Last-updated timestamp on every published piece

Why should newsrooms care about AI visibility?
More readers see your story summarized inside ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews than ever click through to the page. Newsrooms that get cited there capture subscription intent, ad attention and repeat readership; newsrooms that don't disappear from the audience funnel.
What types of content does Indexly build for news and media?
Three formats tuned for news velocity: breaking news (fast, structured coverage with NewsArticle schema), explainers (context-rich long-form), and editorial (analysis and opinion). Each ships with E-E-A-T scaffolding — bylines, credentials, source citations.
How does Indexly handle E-E-A-T for news?
Every page ships with author bylines (real human journalists), credentials, last-updated timestamps, source citations to .gov, .edu and tier-1 publications, and an editorial standards page in the citation graph. Compliance review queue lets editors approve copy before publish.
How fast can a breaking news piece publish?
Breaking pieces ship in under 90 seconds from the moment a journalist enters the brief. Indexly drafts a structured NewsArticle with headline, dek, lede, key facts and live-updates block — ready for editor review and one-click publish to your CMS with auto-submission to Google News.
Can Indexly comply with our editorial review process?
Yes. Auto-Pilot has two modes — full auto and review queue. Most newsrooms run review queue with an editorial gate: drafts go to your editor's inbox for sign-off before publish.
Which AI engines does Indexly track for news prompts?
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok and Google AI Overviews — plus Google News rank tracking. Each engine has different citation patterns for news.
How does Indexly help convert AI traffic into subscribers?
Embedded subscribe CTAs at moments of highest reading intent, contextual newsletter signups, and paywall-meter logic compatible with Piano and Naviga. Conversion patterns A/B tested across the news customer base.
How fast can a news brand see results?
Median news customer sees breaking-news pieces in Perplexity citations within 4 hours of publish, AI Overviews citations within 24-48 hours, and Google News rank within the same news cycle. Long-tail explainers compound over 30-90 days.
