As many of you are likely aware, Google searches are … different these days.
When you search for the latest Seattle Seahawks news, highlights, analysis, and quotes, you’ll see an AI search result at the top. AI may stand for Artificial Intelligence, but in many instances it might as well stand for Accuracy Impaired, and you may end up not finding what you were looking for. It can be as irritating and frustrating as whenever the Seahawks try to run a screen pass.
When you look up what is next for the Browns at quarterback or the NFL draft, you’ll get an AI search at the top that might talk about Joe Flacco or Baker Mayfield still being on the team or be all about Shedeur Sanders only, instead of what is really going on with your favorite orange and brown clad team. That kind of stuff can be annoying and misinforming, right?
The good news is Google is offering a solution for folks who like to get their news from specific sources. If you want to help Field Gulls — while also streamlining all your Google searches — there is now a way.
Simply click on this link and add Field Gulls as one of your “Source preferences.” That’s all there is to it!
Back in August, the tech giant debuted a feature called “Preferred Sources.” It’s a way for Google to prominently feature the results from websites you trust, like Field Gulls:
“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.”
