"Thankfully, there's now a way to customize what you see in search - and to prioritize seeing The Verge. You can do this by selecting The Verge as a preferred source in Google. This tells Google that you want to see us in the "Top stories" carousel on its search results page whenever our coverage is relevant to your search. The easiest way to do this is to click this link and check the box that says The Verge, and you'll be set."
"The Google search landscape is not at all what it once was. Google is showing fewer standard blue links and more YouTube videos, social posts, forum pages, sponsored results, and, of course, AI Overviews - and these are all subject to change every time Google's algorithms reevaluate the web. Google says that the goal of its search results pages is to provide audiences with the most helpful, relevant content for their searches, but this is happening to varying degrees of success."
The last year brought major changes to Google's search results pages, reducing standard blue links and introducing more videos, social posts, forum pages, sponsored results, and AI Overviews. Google allows users to choose preferred sources, enabling The Verge to appear in the Top stories carousel when coverage is relevant. Users can also follow The Verge in Discover to prioritize its content in the Google app feed. The algorithmic changes make major news publishers reach fewer readers, benefit recognizable brands and Reddit, and harm smaller sites. AI Overviews sometimes provide incorrect information. Google intends to continue experimenting with search features and algorithms.
