Google has introduced a new tool, called Preferred Sources, that gives you more control over what shows up in your search results. This feature lets you choose your favorite outlets so their articles will most likely appear in your “Top Stories” section on Google when you look up a topic. For frequent travelers, points and miles collectors, and anyone who relies on expert financial and loyalty program advice, this means you can now set TPG as one of your go-to sources.
By doing this, TPG’s coverage of the latest credit card offers, airline changes, hotel loyalty program updates and travel tips will more likely be highlighted whenever you use Google Search. It’s an easy way to cut through the noise and see the insights you care about most, right when you need them.
How to set up TPG as your preferred source
To access this feature, click this link and then click on the box to the right of “The Points Guy.” This feature is currently only available to Google users in the U.S. and India.
