Search engine optimization (SEO) is something that pretty much everyone has to take part in if they want to be able to maximize the value that they could potentially end up receiving from the content that they are posting online. Google’s search engine is something that pretty much everyone keeps in mind when they are trying to make sure that the content they are posting is making it to the very top of the search engine results. That being said, Google has several properties of its own that it would like people to see, and so the tech giant engages in search engine optimization as well.

Hence, in a lot of ways Google’s SEO approach works kind of like a vast, intricate machine, one in which all of the parts move as one so as to cause minimal disruption.

Furthermore, Google attempts to consolidate its various properties whenever and wherever possible. This is ostensibly done because of the fact that it streamlines the SEO process and creates a single outlet for it rather than having it spread across a multitude of properties each of which will have to be individually managed in order to make them worthwhile.
