Overview

Google offers a feature called Preferred Sources that allows you to prioritize news outlets you trust.

By adding Blaze News as a preferred source, Google will try to show articles from TheBlaze.com more often in your search results and Top Stories section.

You will need a Google account to use this feature.


Step 1: Sign in to Google

  1. Open your web browser and go to google.com.

  2. Click Sign In in the top-right corner.

  3. Enter your Google account email and password.

If you do not have a Google account, you will need to create one before using Preferred Sources.


Step 2: Search for a News Topic

Next, perform a normal Google search for a current news topic.

For example:

  • Iran protests

  • Border security updates

  • Election news

  • Economic policy

  • Tariffs or trade

After searching, you should see a section called Top Stories near the top of the results page.


Step 3: Open the Preferred Sources Tool

  1. Look to the right side of the “Top Stories” header.

  2. You will see a small icon that looks like stacked boxes with a star.

  3. Click or tap this icon.

Preferred Sources pop-up window will appear.


Step 4: Add Blaze News

  1. In the search box inside the pop-up window, type: theblaze.com

  2. When it appears in the list of results, check the box next to it.

  3. Click Reload results.


Step 5: Refresh Your Search

Once you refresh your page, Google will begin prioritizing articles from Blaze News when they are relevant to your search.

You may start seeing Blaze News appear more frequently in:

  • Top Stories

  • News search results

  • Related articles


Important Notes

  • This feature works best when you are signed into your Google account.

  • It may take a few searches before changes become noticeable.

  • Google still shows multiple sources, but your preferred outlets are prioritized when possible.
