Google

What is Google?

Google is a multinational corporation based in the United States that specializes in search engine technology. Although the business is best known as a search engine, it has expanded into numerous areas including cloud computing, software, and hardware. The firm has also expanded into the mobile hardware sector by developing its first Google phone, dubbed Pixel.

The PageRank technique that sorts search results helps Google stand out from the crowd, allowing it to grow and become the most popular search engine. While being one of the finest search engines on the Internet, Google also incorporates a number of other services, such as Google Maps and Google Local, to provide more relevant search results.
