Google has rolled out a new feature in the UK called Preferred Sources, giving readers more control over the publishers they see most often in Google Search. Now is the perfect time to make sure Racing Post is set as one of your trusted sources. 

Whether you follow daily racing news, big-race previews, football analysis or the latest betting offers, adding Racing Post to your Preferred Sources helps ensure you never miss the stories that matter.

What are Google preferred sources?

Preferred Sources allow you to tell Google which publishers you value most. When you add a site to your list, Google’s personalised results will show you more content from that outlet, particularly in Top Stories and a new dedicated From Your Sources feed.

In practice, this means:

• Racing Post stories will appear more prominently in your Top Stories carousel
• You’ll get a personalised stream of Racing Post articles when you search for news
• It becomes easier to keep up with the latest racing views, betting insight, tipping content and major sporting analysis

Think of it as curating your own trusted news list directly inside Google.
