      hello MOzzers,

      I know some words are not as important whenGoogle indexes or crawls ex the word "the" etc.

      I am curios what weightage google places on the word " google" when people search.

      Silly question?? maybe hee hee, but I would like to know. Its been bugging me.

      Thank you so much,

      V

        Interesting question. I'd bet that they just serve up normal results in many cases, unless there's an example where it happens frequently and unintentionally.

        For example, when I search "Google Seattle restaurants", it's a bunch of google offers and search engine marketing discussions, not the normal results for "Seattle restaurants" or even local results for that matter. Just did a couple other quick tests on mobile and desktop and I don't see any examples of them ignoring it.

        If there's an example where it happens frequently and people don't click on the results, I'd imagine they'd start testing different styles of results, but I doubt that'd be based on the fact that "Google" was included so much as the fact that people weren't finding the results useful.

        • When I use the Google search console to discover keyword phrases being used to drive visitors to my site I see some keywords that have the city name repeated (ex: web design sarasota sarasota, fl). Why?
