Search Personalization adds a tasteful one-tap prompt that sends your readers straight to Google's own preferred source settings — helping your site show up more often in the experiences that choose favourite publishers.
Show the prompt exactly where it performs best — inside articles, as a gentle banner, in the footer, via shortcode or a native block.
Drop the prompt right after your byline — the sweet spot for engaged readers. Four styles, light/dark/auto themes.
A dismissible top or bottom banner with delay, scroll and engagement triggers, device targeting and frequency caps.
An editorial end-of-page card, a [search_personalization] shortcode, and a native Gutenberg block.
Choose scope, post types, categories, tags and IDs; target by featured image or post age. WooCommerce pages stay clean.
Aggregate impressions, clicks, dismissals and CTR. No IPs, no user agents, no personal data — ever.
Vanilla JavaScript, assets loaded only where needed, multisite ready, and it clears popular caches automatically.
Every placement funnels readers to Google's preferred-source settings with a clear, accessible call to action.
Card style, shown near the end of an article.
