So, here's something new Google just dropped that you're definitely going to want to use if you like keeping up with all things Rockford. They rolled out a tool that lets you actually pick your favorite news sources, so when you're scrolling, you'll see more stories from the sites you actually care about, and if you're from around here, I know, and I'm sure you know Q98.5 is at the top of that list.

What Is Google’s Preferred Sources Tool?

Here's how it works: Google calls it Preferred Sources. It lives right inside Google Search, and once you set it up, stories from your chosen sites will pop up more often in that Top Stories section. Long story short, you'll see more Rockford news, food finds, local events, and all the country fun we're always posting.

Adding Q985online.com takes like 30 seconds:

  • Search for literally anything on Google.
  • Scroll to Top Stories.
  • Spot the little square star icon and click it.
  • Type in Q985online.com.
  • Select it.
  • Refresh. Done.

Why Choose Q98.5 as Your Source?

You might be asking yourself, "Why should I do this?" Well, because you'll get more of the stuff that actually matters to you instead of endless headlines from things that don't. Big concert events, the next best place to grab a slice of pizza, and what's happening here in Rockford, will be front and center.

When Will You See the Option?

One last thing, Google is still rolling out this new feature, and while it worked for me, if you don't see the option yet, don't worry, that shortcut link will still do the trick.
