Windy City Gridiron
I’m not gonna lie. I don’t stay on top of the latest in technology news. I don’t even know enough to fake my way through a tech conversation, but even I’ve noticed that something is going on with Google searches.
If you search Google for the latest injury news about the Chicago Bears, or want to know their most recent practice squad transaction, or know how Chicago’s sacks allowed have gone this season, the AI-populated results at the top of the page may not be what you’re looking for. Oftentimes, when it’s a sports-related search, the results are wrong.
The good news is that Google offers a solution for people who prefer to get their news from specific sources. If you want to help us out at WCG — while also streamlining all your Google searches — there is now a way.
Simply click on this link and add Windy City Gridiron as one of your “Source preferences.” It’s as simple as that!
In August, Google introduced a feature called “Preferred Sources, “which is a way for them to prominently feature the results from websites you trust, like Windy City Gridiron.
“With the launch of Preferred Sources in the U.S. and India, you can select your favorite sources and stay up to date on the latest content from the sites you follow and subscribe to — whether that’s your favorite sports blog or a local news outlet. …
When you select your preferred sources, you’ll start to see more of their articles prominently displayed within Top Stories, when those sources have published fresh and relevant content for your search.“
As some of you may know, AI searches are harming outlets around the world and across all platforms. We’ve worked hard at WCG to build a brand you can trust and rely on for Bears and NFL coverage. Our goal is to serve you, the fans.
If you’re a fan of our work and want to get the best coverage possible, this is an excellent win-win to improve your Google searches while helping Windy City Gridiron out.
