How to Add (& Support) ComicBook.com As a Preferred Source in Google

Want more geek entertainment in your feed and want to know it comes from the best team in the space? Google has introduced a new feature that allows users to mark their favorite news sites as a “preferred source” in select Google products. Our goal at ComicBook.com is to be the ultimate destination for nerdy discussions, insightful news coverage, and memorable opinion pieces that help readers explore their favorite movies, TV shows, comic books, anime, and video games – bridging the gap between casual entertainment lovers and die-hard enthusiasts.

A.I. has revolutionized search but, more than anything, it’s removed the need for news sites to waste time on SEO-minded content – and get back to what we do best: providing unique perspectives on topics that matter to our readers. In our case, that means fun theories, breaking news, informative features, and (from time to time) playing devil’s advocate. If you already love what we do, or just read your first ComicBook.com article, we appreciate your support – but would “Love You 3000” if you’d mark us as a “Preferred Source” with Google’s new tool.

How to Add Preferred Sources in Google – Especially ComicBook.com

Here’s how it works:

1. Open your Google Chrome browser on mobile or desktop.
2. Ensure you’re signed in to your Google account in Chrome.
3. Click the following link – HERE – to add ComicBook.com.
4. Once the page loads, you should see ComicBook.com auto-populated (if it’s not, you can manually type our site into the text box).
5. Check the selection box, then continue to Google Search!

If, for some reason, these steps do not work for you, you can also add preferred sources via Top Stories carousels in search.

1. Enter a topic in the Google search bar that is news-focused
   • Example (with clickable link to search): Batman 2
2. Scroll down to the “Top Stories” section.
3. To the right of the words “Top Stories”, click the icon.
   • The icon looks like a little paper stack with a star on the cover.
4. In the search field pop-up, type ComicBook.com.
5. Once you see ComicBook.com appear as a selection, check the box.

Where Preferred Sources Show Up In Google

Adding a site as a preferred source doesn’t mean you’ll see that site all the time – it just means that Google will show the publication more frequently in relevant searches and Discover feed recommendations. You can read more about “Preferred Sources” over at Google’s own info page.

Ultimately, sites are still beholden to Google algorithm updates and other factors that ensure the best articles find their way to the top of Google. Marking a site as a preferred source is just one more signal to Google that you’ve had a good experience with our work in the past and trust us – and that you’d be open to seeing us pop up from time to time (when Google deems relevant).

Why We Think ComicBook.com Deserves Your Support (& Why You’ll Be Glad to See More of Us)

We know readers get their entertainment news from a wide variety of sites – we read those sites too. However, what sets ComicBook.com aside from a lot of other outlets comes down to a simple principle: our team goes the extra mile to provide added value to our readers – we don’t just report news or state an opinion – we back our thoughts with decades of experience both as journalists and fans of geek entertainment. Take a look at the ComicBook.com team page and you’ll see a group of people who love these characters, these franchises, these mediums, as much as you – and have spent years reporting on them. We’re excited about the next decade of geek entertainment, and marking us as a preferred source means you’re more likely to see our coverage on Avengers: Doomsday, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, House of the Dragon, Superman: Man of Tomorrow, and The Batman II, among many, many others.

We also understand that “with great power comes great responsibility” – and that your support and trust shouldn’t be taken for granted. We’re committed to evolving alongside our readers’ needs and interests. Every day, we try to make this site a better, more dynamic, and more welcoming community for passionate geeks. We’re active in article comments and the site forum – because we love talking about this stuff with all of you.

Thanks for being a ComicBook.com reader!
