Trill News

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not. — André Gide

Make Trill News a preferred source

A Google Search setting that tells Google you want to see more of us.

Add Trill News in Google Search

What This Actually Does

Preferred sources is a setting inside Google Search, not something Trill News controls. When you mark a site as preferred, Google shows more of that site's stories in Top Stories when it has relevant coverage, and gives it more prominence in AI results. It does not remove anything else from your results, and it does not turn Search into a feed of only the sites you picked.

It Is Your Setting, Not Ours

The choice lives in your Google account and you can change it whenever you like. You can pick as many sources as you want, and adding one does not remove another. Trill News is not told who has selected us, and we receive no data about you from this. Turning it off later takes the same ten seconds as turning it on.

How To Do It

Use the button above, which opens the Google settings page for this site, then confirm. You can also do it from Search itself: run a search that shows a Top Stories section, look for the preferred sources icon beside it, and add Trill News from the panel that opens. Either route ends up in the same place.

Why We Are Asking

Search sends less traffic to small publishers than it used to, and readers who deliberately choose a source are the most reliable way for an independent site to stay visible. If you find our coverage useful, this is the single most valuable thing you can do for us, and it costs you nothing. If you do not, please do not bother.
