Make TheOnlineNews.ca your Preferred Source on Google

Keep The Real News Sources You Want Closer

With misinformation, misleading headlines, and AI-generated content becoming increasingly common online, knowing where your news comes from matters more than ever.

Google’s Preferred Sources feature gives you more control over the news you see in Google Search. By selecting websites you value as Preferred Sources, Google can show more content from those sites in areas such as Top Stories when their content is fresh and relevant to your search.

If you use TheOnlineNews.ca to discover news from reliable sources, you can add TheOnlineNews.ca to your Preferred Sources on Google.

Why add TheOnlineNews.ca?

TheOnlineNews.ca is an independent news directory created to help you discover headline news from reliable and trusted sources in Canada and around the world.

We do not republish complete news articles. Instead, we help you discover headlines and connect directly to the original publishers.

By adding TheOnlineNews.ca as a Preferred Source, you can make it easier to find our latest news-directory updates when using Google Search.

Real News. Real Sources.

How to Add TheOnlineNews.ca as a Preferred Source

Google provides several ways to manage your Preferred Sources. The steps below may vary slightly depending on your device, browser, Google account, and the version of Google Search you are using.

You must be signed in to your Google Account to save your Preferred Sources.

OPTION 1 — Use the Preferred Sources Option in Google Search

  1. Go to Google Search and search for a current news topic.
  2. Look for the Top Stories section in your search results.
  3. Select the Preferred Sources / star icon next to the Top Stories section.
  4. Search for TheOnlineNews.ca.
  5. Select TheOnlineNews.ca as one of your Preferred Sources.
  6. Return to your search results.

Google says that once you select a Preferred Source, content from that source may appear more frequently in Top Stories or in a dedicated “From your sources” section when relevant. You will continue to see results from other sources as well.

OPTION 2 — Use Google’s Source Preferences

You can also manage your preferred sources through Google’s Search personalization settings.

Open Google Search while signed in to your Google Account and access your Preferred Sources or source preferences.

Search for:

TheOnlineNews.ca

Then add it to your preferred sources.

Google has continued expanding this feature. Preferred Sources can now also be surfaced in Google’s AI Search experiences, including AI Overviews and AI Mode, helping users find links from websites they have selected.

What Happens After You Add Us?

Adding TheOnlineNews.ca as a Preferred Source does not mean that Google will show our website for every search.

Instead, Google may give our site greater visibility in relevant news experiences when we have fresh and relevant content.

You will still see news and information from other websites and publishers. Preferred Sources are intended to personalize your experience, not replace the broader range of information available through Google Search.

You can also change or remove your Preferred Sources at any time.

Why We Recommend Using Preferred Sources

The internet gives us access to more information than ever before. It also makes it easier for inaccurate information, misleading headlines, and artificially generated content to spread quickly.

We believe readers should have more control over the sources they use to discover information.

Google’s Preferred Sources feature is one way to personalize your search experience around the websites and publishers you choose.

At TheOnlineNews.ca, our goal is to make discovering reliable news easier by bringing together headlines from trusted sources and connecting you directly to the original reporting.

We don’t replace the news. We help you find it.

Discover News. Choose Your Sources. Stay Informed.

Add TheOnlineNews.ca to your Preferred Sources on Google and keep our news directory closer to the sources you use to discover what’s happening in Canada and around the world.
