That will really boost your SEO and give you a competitive advantage.

To improve your SEO with Google, fill in your description and posts with relevant keywords that fit your audience and consumers’ needs and searches. However, don’t artificially stuff keywords into content – that will actually hurt your score with Google.

You have seamless integration with YouTube, Gmail, and plenty of add-ons from Google Chrome.
