Need to audit a live implementation first? Install the free Preferred Source Checker for Chrome<\/a> to check eligibility, the publisher SDK, button rendering and the fallback link.<\/p>\n\n Add Google's hosted Preferred Sources popup button to a WordPress site. Readers can choose a source in Google's own flow without leaving the page. Custom button presets use Google's direct preferences link if the script cannot load; the native style includes a no-JavaScript fallback.<\/p>\n\n Google Preferred Sources is a reader choice, not a site-wide ranking factor. Google says selected fresh, relevant content may appear more often in Top Stories and receive a preferred badge in AI Overviews and AI Mode. No traffic, AI citation or visibility is guaranteed. See publisher guidance<\/a> and click-through finding<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Give readers a way to add your publication as a Preferred Source in Google's popup. Show a Preferred Source Button in an article, footer, widget or floating banner; custom presets use a direct-link fallback if the script cannot load.<\/p>\n\n The plugin loads Google's The fallback link and eligibility panel point to Google's SDK has no completion callback, promise or event.

Google provides no automated eligibility API. Subdirectories such as No. Google's SDK does not report whether a reader completed the popup. The plugin records impressions and clicks, and Smart placement uses click-through rate only.<\/p><\/dd>\nGoogle Preferred Sources for WordPress<\/h4>\n\n
