Google have launched Google Preferred Sources, which is a brand new feature that allows your customers and your readers to choose you as a preferred source of information. Now when this is done correctly, it does a few things. No.

1, it increases your chances on coming up on Google AI Overviews, coming up in Google AI mode, and also it's going to increase your chances of being the top source on Google News. Not only that, Google have said to us that it's gonna be part of the algorithm that more people that have selected you as a preferred source is gonna increase your chances of actually ranking on Google as well. So there's a few ways to set it up and get your customers and your readers to choose you as a preferred source.

The first thing that you can do is go on to Google News. You gonna see top stories over there. You click on that icon, and then it's gonna take you to a section where people can put in your URL and add you as a source.

com/preferences/source. You can put in the URL there again, and again you're gonna become their preferred source. Then there's a third way to set it up, and this is very clever.

com/preferences/source. Then add this at the end: question mark q equals, then put it in your URL. When you put in this exact URL into Google, straight away it's gonna go to that page.

Now the reason why this is clever is that you can put this into the back of an image. So for example, if a person presses that image, straight away they're gonna go to that source. You can put this on your emails, you can put this on your social, and basically what you have to start doing is get your customers and your readers to start selecting you as a preferred source.
