Here's How to See Curbed Stories First on Google

"It's a new feature that Google recently rolled out called "Preferred Sources," which lets you designate certain outlets as the ones you trust and want to read first. This way, when you're looking up the latest news on New York City's built environment, architecture, real estate, and design, you don't have to settle for a random blog post or 25 brokerages trying to sell you the same apartment."

"All you have to do is click on this link while signed into your Google account (Curbed is preselected here). You should see Curbed below the search bar. Go ahead and check the box next to Curbed. That's it! And make sure to add New York Magazine (which includes Intelligencer and the Strategist), Vulture, The Cut, and Grub Street - there's no limit to how many sources you can select. Finally, an internet you can actually use!"

Google rolled out a Preferred Sources feature that lets users designate trusted outlets to appear in the Top Stories section of search results. Users can select outlets such as Curbed and New York Magazine (including Intelligencer and the Strategist), Vulture, The Cut, and Grub Street. Selection occurs while signed into a Google account by checking chosen sources; there is no limit to how many sources can be selected. The feature aims to surface preferred reporting on New York City's built environment, architecture, real estate, and design instead of random blogs or numerous brokerage listings. The message also encourages subscribing, downloading an app, and following Curbed on social platforms.
