Google also added new information to their Get on Discover documentation "on how sites can increase the likelihood of their content appearing in Discover"

Specifically, they rewrote the list of recommendations for visibility in Discover:

> To increase the likelihood of your content appearing in Discover, we recommend the following:

> • Avoid clickbait and similar tactics to artificially inflate engagement by using misleading or exaggerated details in preview content (title, snippets, or images) to increase appeal, or by withholding crucial information required to understand what the content is about.

> • Use page titles and headlines that capture the essence of the content.

> • Avoid sensationalism tactics that manipulate appeal by catering to morbid curiosity, titillation, or outrage.

> • Provide content that's timely for current interests, tells a story well, or provides unique insights.

> • Include compelling, high-quality images in your content, especially large images that are more likely to generate visits from Discover. Large images need to be at least 1200 px wide and enabled by the `max-image-preview:large` setting, or by using AMP.

> • Provide an overall great page experience. For more advice, check out our help page on Understanding page experience in Google Search results.

Not surprisingly, these updates align with the goals of the Feb. 2026 Discover Core Update that they described in the Search Central Blog.
