If you’ve been Googling lately, you might have spotted a shift in how your results appear. Between the rollout of AI overviews and various algorithm tweaks, it’s becoming easier to get lost in a sea of unexpected sources.
To help with this, Google recently introduced “preferred source.” This feature hands the steering wheel back to you, allowing you to tell the platform exactly which outlets you trust most for your news.
Here is a quick guide on how to set Secret Glasgow as a preferred source on Google so you never miss a beat (and really, why would you want to?)
What is a preferred source on Google?
Essentially, a preferred source is any site or news organisation you want highlighted in your Top Stories feed. By picking your favorites, you’ll see more frequent updates from those specific creators based on what you’re interested in.
