Google's Preferred Sources feature is one of the quieter updates to come out of search lately, but it has a real connection to click-through rates inside AI Overviews. Jess explains more in this video. 🎥

How do you encourage your audience to choose your brand as a Preferred Source? Start by creating a link they can use.

The link to the Preferred Sources page is actually pretty easy to set up. As an example, here's what it would look like if we created a link for you to add us as one of your preferred sources. 😉

If you want your audience to add your website, just replace our domain with your own at the end of the URL, and share it in your marketing — on your website, on social media, etc. It's that simple!

Google even provides button assets you can drop onto your site.

The businesses that will benefit from this are the ones already publishing consistently and earning enough trust that their audience wants to opt in. There's no shortcut there.

If you're already doing the work, this is a quick way to make it count inside AI search features.
