How it works

Three steps to a badge your readers can act on.

1

Enter your website

Type the domain readers should add as a preferred source — it’s baked into the badge link.

2

Pick a style, size & language

Choose the Google, custom, or stacked look, match light or dark, and localize the label.

3

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.
