If you love WordPress and rely on WPBeginner for tutorials, tips, and guides, then we want to show you an easy way to make sure you can easily find WPBeginner tutorials when you search on Google.
Google search offers a feature called ‘Preferred Sources.’ This lets you choose websites with the content you want to see more of in search results.
Instead of scrolling through multiple pages of search results, you can make it easy for Google to show the most relevant WPBeginner articles, so you get the WordPress guidance you need, fast. 🎯
In this short guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to set up WPBeginner as a Preferred Source in Google search (it only takes two clicks).
💡 Why Set WPBeginner as a Preferred Source in Google?
Setting WPBeginner as a preferred source ensures that our WordPress tutorials and guides appear in the ‘Top Stories’ section and the special ‘From Your Sources’ section in the search results.
This way, whether you’re troubleshooting a plugin, customizing a theme, or fixing an issue on your WordPress website, you’ll see WPBeginner content first. It will save you time and help you get the answers you need faster.
This is especially important when you consider that AI (artificial intelligence) is playing an increasingly bigger role in deciding what appears in your Google search results. Setting up your preferred sources means you can get the content from trusted websites.
Here’s how to set up WPBeginner as a preferred source in Google:
1️⃣ Step 1: Go to Google Source Preferences for WPBeginner
First, simply click this link. You’ll be taken directly to WPBeginner in the Source Preferences list.
2️⃣ Step 2: Select WPBeginner
