The feature entered\u00a0beta in June of 2025, rolled out in the U.S. and India in\u00a0August, and is now expanding globally. Google rolled out\u00a0preferred sources globally\u00a0in December 2025 and then in May, Google enabled it for all languages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Growing feature. <\/strong>Google also said that so far \u201cpeople have already selected more than 600,000 unique sources.\u201d So it seems like users are using this feature. In May 2026, Google said that number was 200,000, that is a 200% increase. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why we care.\u00a0<\/strong>Traffic from Google Search is hard and if you can get your readers, loyal readers, to make your site a preferred source, that can help. Google said those users are twice as likely to click, which can help drive more traffic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So add the preferred source icon to your site and encourage users to sign up.
