You might have noticed that when you Google something recently, the search results look slightly different from usual. Things like AI overviews and algorithm changes might have you seeing results from unexpected sources.
Recently, Google have launched something called “preferred sources” where you can let the platform know where you’d rather get your news from, putting you back in the driving seat.
Here’s a simple guide on how to add Secret London as a preferred source, so you can stay up to date with our articles (and let’s face it, why wouldn’t you?)
What is a preferred source?
A preferred source is any website or news outlet that you choose to appear in your Top Stories feed. Once you have selected your preferred sources, you’ll start to see more updates from them, relevant to your interests.
