Google just gave us the ultimate shortcut to rank No. 1 in AI results. And I don't even mean sometimes.

And this is something you better start doing immediately before your competition does.

The new thing is called Preferred Sources. And here's how it works. If someone adds your website as a preferred source, then it'll be way more likely to appear in AI overviews and AI mode.

And it even gets highlighted with a little preferred badge.

If your website regularly publishes helpful content, you need to make it as easy as possible for people to add you as a preferred source. Here's how. 1, create a link using this format.

2, add that link on your website, on every blog post, on your newsletter, every social post.

And third, when someone clicks it, they just have to check off your website. And now Google knows that they want to see more of your content. So save this post and then follow me for more SEO advice.
