About Preferred Sources + How to Select The Montclair Girl as One of Yours
A preferred source, according to Google, is a way to “select your favorite sources and stay up to date on the latest content from the sites you follow and subscribe to.” When you select a website as a preferred source, its stories will appear more frequently at the top of your Google search when fresh and relevant. In the hyperlocal space, fact-checked/based news is more important than ever, and selecting The Montclair Girl as a preferred source ensures that your news feed will remain accurate and misinformation-free.
