Google has launched a new feature enabling users to designate “preferred sources” for news and content, ensuring those brands appear more prominently in Google’s Top Stories sections. This means that if you want to see updates from Auto Express first when searching for car-related information, you can now prioritize it directly within Google’s search results.
Why This Matters
This feature responds to growing demand for more curated news experiences. Previously, Google’s algorithms determined what appeared in Top Stories, sometimes favoring less reliable or less relevant content. Now, users have a degree of control over what they see, allowing them to prioritize trusted sources like Auto Express. This also means that Auto Express’ coverage will be more visible to readers actively seeking car news, reviews, and features.
How to Add Auto Express as a Preferred Source
The process is straightforward and takes just a few clicks:
- Perform a Google search for a news topic. Searching “car news” is an effective way to trigger the Top Stories box.
- Click the icon to the right of the “Top Stories” heading.
- In the “Choose your preferred sources” box, type “Auto Express.”
- Select Autoexpress.co.uk from the list.
Once completed, Auto Express stories will be weighted more heavily in future searches related to automotive content.
Beyond Google: Staying Connected with Auto Express
Google’s feature is just one way to stay up-to-date with the latest car news. Auto Express also provides regular updates through various channels:
- Free E-mail Newsletter: Direct updates delivered to your inbox.
- Auto Express Magazine: In-depth features and reviews in print.
- Social Media: Real-time updates on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), TikTok, and more.
- YouTube: Video reviews, tests, and expert analysis.
By prioritizing Auto Express in Google and utilizing these additional channels, readers can ensure they never miss critical insights from the UK’s leading car magazine and website.
This update gives users greater agency over their news feed while reinforcing Auto Express as a trusted and authoritative voice in the automotive industry.
