Opace Preferred Source Button & Analytics for Google

Àpèjúwe

Need to audit a live implementation first? Install the free Preferred Source Checker for Chrome to check eligibility, the publisher SDK, button rendering and the fallback link.

Add GoogleÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s hosted Preferred Sources popup button to a WordPress site. Readers can choose a source in GoogleÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s own flow without leaving the page. Custom button presets use GoogleÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s direct preferences link if the script cannot load; the native style includes a no-JavaScript fallback.

Google Preferred Sources for WordPress

Google Preferred Sources is a reader choice, not a site-wide ranking factor. Google says selected fresh, relevant content may appear more often in Top Stories and receive a preferred badge in AI Overviews and AI Mode. No traffic, AI citation or visibility is guaranteed. See publisher guidance and click-through finding.

Add as Preferred Source with a Preferred Source Button

Give readers a way to add your publication as a Preferred Source in GoogleÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s popup. Show a Preferred Source Button in an article, footer, widget or floating banner; custom presets use a direct-link fallback if the script cannot load.

Preferred Source Button placement and controls

• Place the button with the Gutenberg block, [opace_preferred_source], [opace_preferred_source_button] or [opsrc_button] shortcode, classic widget, floating banner, footer, after the first H2 or at the end of content.
• Use Smart placement to rotate five supported positions, then favour the highest measured click-through rate with continued exploration. It measures clicks, not completed additions.
• Show a banner immediately, after scroll depth or delay, or on desktop exit intent. Include returning-visitor and post-click or dismissal suppression controls.
• Choose GoogleÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s native button or custom Google-colours and neutral presets, with light, dark and language settings.

Analytics, eligibility and consent

• Record anonymous aggregate impressions, clicks and click-through rate for 30 or 90 days, with a per-placement table. Optional GA4/dataLayer events record clicks only.
• Check whether the WordPress address is a domain or subdomain. Google has no eligibility API, so the plugin links to its preferences tool for the owner to check manually. Subdirectories are not eligible.
• Enable GDPR two-click mode to defer the Google script until a reader agrees. Declining uses the direct preferences link.
• Use network activation-safe defaults, per-site settings, optional network settings locking and a documented white-label filter for agency installations.

External services and privacy

The plugin loads GoogleÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s publisher.js from news.google.com only on pages where a button or banner renders, so GoogleÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s popup can open. The plugin itself sends no personal data to Google. A browser request to Google may involve IP address and browser data under GoogleÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

The fallback link and eligibility panel point to google.com/preferences/source but make no automatic request. The two-click mode prevents a Google request until the reader agrees. Plugin analytics are anonymous aggregate counts in the WordPress database. Optional GA4/dataLayer events send placement, style and popup-or-deeplink mode to an existing setup; the plugin does not load GA4. Browser local storage supports consent, banner suppression and returning-visitor behaviour. A short-lived transient based on an anonymised IP hash rate-limits public analytics events.

Measurement limit

GoogleÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s SDK has no completion callback, promise or event. Analytics record impressions and clicks on the trigger, never confirmed Preferred Source additions, conversions, rankings or visibility results.
