Google’s New Preferred Sources: Control Your Search!

Google’s New Feature: Take Control of Your Search Results!

Ever wish Google would show you more of what you love, from the sources you trust most? Well, get ready, because Google is officially rolling out “Preferred Sources” – a brand new feature designed to put you in the driver’s seat of your search results.

This exciting update lets you pick specific websites, blogs, or news outlets that you want to see highlighted more prominently when you search on Google. Imagine getting your news from your favorite independent blog or seeing cooking tips primarily from that one recipe site you always rely on, right at the top of your search.

**How Does It Work? It’s Super Simple!**

Using Preferred Sources is incredibly straightforward. Here’s a quick rundown:

1. Head over to Google and search for any topic you like.
2. Look for the “Preferred Sources” option – it should be easily visible.
3. Click it, then simply type in the name of the publication or website you want to prioritize.
4. Give your results a quick refresh, and voilà!

There’s no limit to how many sources you can choose, but remember, picking too many might dilute the benefit of prioritizing your favorites. When you search, results from your chosen sources should appear clearly, often in a dedicated “top stories” or “from your sources” section.

Your preferred sources will stay saved to your Google account, so you only have to set them once. This feature is rolling out in the coming days for English language users in the US and India.

For content creators and publishers, this is a fantastic opportunity to connect directly with their most loyal readers. Now, in addition to encouraging social media follows, publications can also encourage their audience to add them as a preferred source, ensuring their content gets seen by the people who value it most. Get ready to personalize your Google search experience like never before!
