Google lets publishers embed a Preferred Sources button

Google is rolling out an embeddable “Preferred Sources” button publishers can add to their pages; a reader click adds the site as a Preferred Source and returns them to where they left off. Google says preferred sources surface more often in Top Stories, AI Overviews and AI Mode, and that more than 600,000 unique sources have now been selected, up from over 345,000 at the feature’s May 2026 launch.
