Brand Impact
Google has expanded its "preferred sources" feature, allowing brands to tell Google's AI which websites it should prioritize when answering user questions in Google's AI chatbot and search summaries. This means brands can now influence which of their own properties—or partner sites—the AI displays as authoritative sources when users ask questions. Companies that set up preferred sources could see their content featured more prominently in AI-generated answers, while competitors without this setup may get less visibility in these new AI-powered search experiences.
