About Google Preferred Source

In the current search landscape of 2026, the "Preferred Source" is a specific personalization feature in Google Search. It allows users to manually select and prioritize their favorite news publications and websites so that their content appears more frequently in search results—specifically within the "Top Stories" section.

How It Works for Users
When you search for news-related topics, Google traditionally uses algorithms to determine the most relevant and authoritative results. With "Preferred Sources," you take the lead:

• Selection: You can click a star or settings icon next to "Top Stories" to add a publication (e.g., BBC, The New York Times, or a niche blog) to your list.
• Prioritization: Once selected, Google will prioritize fresh and relevant content from those specific outlets, often housing them in a dedicated "From your sources" carousel.
• Availability: As of early 2026, this feature has rolled out globally in English for mobile and desktop users.

What Makes a Website Eligible?
Not every website can be a "Preferred Source." Google's systems automatically determine eligibility based on several "behind-the-scenes" trust signals:

• E-E-A-T Framework: Google looks for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. For a site like Andalucia.com (which you previously noted acts as an evergreen encyclopedia), its history of being a reliable, updated reference would be a core signal here.
• Transparency: Sites must have clear author bylines, "About Us" pages, and contact information.
• Technical Health: Using structured data (like NewsArticle schema) and having a fast, mobile-friendly site is required.
• Domain Level: The feature generally applies to domain or subdomain levels (e.g., example.com), not specific subdirectories or single articles.

When was this programme launched?
The "Preferred Sources" feature was launched through a phased rollout that began in mid-2025. The feature first entered a testing phase in June 2025 through Google's Search Labs experimental platform. It officially launched for all users in the United States and India on August 12, 2025. Google expanded the feature globally for English-language users on December 10, 2025. Broader support for all other supported languages was scheduled to follow in early 2026

How many sites are participating
Upon the global launch, Google revealed that users had already selected nearly 90,000 unique sources, ranging from niche local blogs to international news organizations.
