With news moving so quickly all the time, especially in Miami, it can get difficult staying on top of it all. That’s why Google has been rolling out updates from AI-powered features to core algorithm changes, making it easier to find the results you’re looking for!
Recently, Google has introduced a new feature that may help users in the U.S. and India tailor their search results: preferred sources. This gives you control over what news outlets, guides, and insider tips you’d want shown on your feed most. And if you’d love to see more of Secret Miami (we certainly feel the same way), keep reading for a step-by-step guide on how to set us as a preferred source.
What is a preferred source?
A preferred source can be any news publication or website that you choose to see in Google’s Top Stories. Once you set a preferred source, you’ll begin to see more of their articles, as long as they have fresh and relevant content related to your interests.
This is the easiest way to ensure you’re getting trusted, hyper-local coverage from the publishers you follow without having to search for it manually.
