## Descrizione

Rankal Preferred Source for Google Search helps publishers, news sites, magazines
and blogs encourage readers to add their website as a **preferred source** in Google
Search. Google lets users personalize Search and choose sources they want to see
more of, which can influence experiences such as Top Stories, AI Mode and AI Overviews.

The plugin does not control Google’s systems and does not modify anyone’s Google
preferences. It simply provides a clean, accessible call-to-action that sends the
visitor to Google’s own source preference interface.

**What you get**

 * Automatic detection of your canonical domain, with a manual override.
 * Inline article CTA (great placed just below the headline for news sites).
 * Dismissible top/bottom banner with gentle trigger options.
 * Editorial footer CTA.
 * Shortcode `[rankal_preferred_source]` and a native Gutenberg block.
 * Four styles (Compact, Card, Minimal, Publisher) plus light/dark/auto themes.
 * Localized button labels in 20+ languages, or your own custom text.
 * Powerful display rules: scope, post types, category/tag include & exclude, ID
   exclusions, featured-image and post-age targeting.
 * WooCommerce-safe: never shows on cart, checkout, account or product pages (optional).
 * Privacy-friendly, first-party, aggregated analytics — no IPs, no user agents,
   no personal data.
 * Lightweight: vanilla JavaScript, tiny CSS, assets loaded only where needed.

**Not affiliated with Google**

Rankal Preferred Source for Google Search is an independent WordPress plugin and
is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google. Google Preferred Sources
is a feature provided by Google. This plugin simply provides a convenient link that
helps visitors access Google’s source preference settings. It does not promise higher
rankings, guaranteed visibility, or inclusion in any Google experience.

## FAQ

### Does this change my Google ranking?

No. The plugin only links visitors to Google’s own preferred-source settings. It
makes no SEO claims.

### Do you collect personal data?

No. Analytics are aggregated daily counters per placement. No IP addresses, user
agents, names, emails or Google identifiers are stored. Analytics can be disabled
entirely.

### Is it compatible with caching plugins?

Yes. Trigger, device and dismissal logic runs client-side so cached pages behave
correctly. On save, the plugin attempts to clear popular caches (LiteSpeed, WP Rocket,
WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, Cache Enabler, WP Fastest Cache, SG Optimizer).

### Is it translation-ready?

Yes. All user-facing strings use the `rankal-preferred-source-google` text domain,
and a POT template is included. It works alongside WPML, Polylang and TranslatePress.
