How to make TPG your preferred source on Google Search

Google has introduced a new tool, called Preferred Sources, that gives you more control over what shows up in your search results. This feature lets you choose your favorite outlets so their articles will most likely appear in your “Top Stories” section on Google when you look up a topic. For frequent travelers, points and miles collectors, and anyone who relies on expert financial and loyalty program advice, this means you can now set TPG as one of your go-to sources.

By doing this, TPG’s coverage of the latest credit card offers, airline changes, hotel loyalty program updates and travel tips will more likely be highlighted whenever you use Google Search. It’s an easy way to cut through the noise and see the insights you care about most, right when you need them.

From now on, when you search for terms like “best travel credit cards,” “new airline loyalty programs” and “how to choose a hotel loyalty program,” TPG’s expert coverage will surface near the top of your results on your feed.

Why this preferred source matters for points and miles enthusiasts

Google’s Preferred Sources setting helps filter out less reliable content and brings forward the outlets you already trust. For TPG readers, this means:

• Faster access to news: Exciting new airline routes, new loyalty program perks and travel innovation updates are covered in real time at TPG.

By prioritizing TPG, you’ll be less likely to miss out on time-sensitive stories.
