Answer: Google uses automated programs called spiders or crawlers, just like most search engines, to help generate its search results. Google has a large index of keywords that help determine search results. ... Google uses a trademarked algorithm called PageRank, which assigns each Web page a relevancy score.

Explanation: Google's algorithm does the work for you by searching out Web pages that contain the keywords you used to search, then assigning a rank to each page based several factors, including how many times the keywords appear on the page. ... Google references this index when a user enters a search query.

Hope this helps^^
