Subdomain as News Section instead of Source in Google News?

[m.m]

Hi,

trying to dig into Google News for a large site, mostly containing news.
The structure of the site network is subdomain.domain.se, and each subdomain has it's own brand with it's own news:

x.domain.se
y.domain.se
z.domain.se
etc...

Each brand/subdomain is more or less to equate with its own subjectfield/section.

In Google News every subdomain is configured with it's own Site Source url, but also having the set up with one section with the same url.

It seems like they're getting conflicts in Google News, Google can't always figure out which news article to which brand. Example: an article owned by brand A, but it is sometimes happens that articles getting labeled as brand B in the news SERP, though the link takes you correctly to brand A.

I am thinking that this config in News Publisher Center may be a problem? Anyone having any thoughts if that would be better if we delete all source urls except for domain.se-brand and then put all the other subdomains as sections?

• www.domain.se
  • x.domain.se
  • y.doamin.se
  • z.domain.se

Any smart thoughts on this one? Or anything else that could make this wrong labeling (all content included images are hosted in same domain for example).

Regards,
Magnus

Yes it's better if you put all the other suddomains as sections. Good luck
