How to make sure you see Fast Company articles first on Google

If you’re a regular Fast Company reader, you may come check the site when you want news, or follow us on social media. But when you are looking for something on Google, would you also like to find out if Fast Company has covered your question already? We know the Google search pages are getting harder and harder to navigate, with AI summaries and countless little boxes, but there’s a new way to ensure you’re seeing Fast Company stories relevant to your query near the top of your search results.

Google has a new feature called “Preferred Sources,” which lets you select which news outlets appear in the Top Stories box. The next time your searching about a news event, you’ll see relevant Fast Company stories first instead of a random selection of local news sites rehashing the same version of the news. Google also plans to roll out a specific “From Your Sources” section that will then also feature Fast Company stories.

Here’s what to do:

1: Go to this Google link

Clicking here will bring you to the Google page that lets you select your sources, with Fast Company already filled in.

2: Click the check box next to Fast Company

Add a little blue check to the left. You can also do this from the Top Stories section on the search page by clicking the star icon next to the Top Stories header.

3: Refresh your search results

If there’s a Fast Company story that fits your search criteria, it should now be near the top.

You can also, of course, add other sites you like to further customize your experience. But now your Google results can better reflect the sources you want to hear from.
