How it works
Three steps to a badge your readers can act on.
Enter your website
Type the domain readers should add as a preferred source — it’s baked into the badge link.
Pick a style, size & language
Choose the Google, custom, or stacked look, match light or dark, and localize the label.
Paste the embed code
Copy the generated snippet and drop it into your homepage, articles, or newsletter.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Google preferred source?
Preferred sources let people choose publishers they want to see more often in Google Search features like Top stories. Adding the badge gives your readers a one-tap way to mark your site as one of theirs.
Where should I place the badge?
Anywhere your most engaged readers land — your homepage header or footer, the end of articles, your about page, or an email newsletter. The embed is a plain link and image, so it works in any HTML.
Can I match it to my site’s design?
Yes. Switch between the Google, custom, and stacked styles, choose a size, toggle a dark-background variant, and localize the label across six languages — the preview and embed update instantly.
Does adding the badge affect my SEO?
The badge itself is just a link to Google’s preferred-source setting — it doesn’t change your rankings. It simply makes it easier for loyal readers to opt in to seeing your content more often.
