Inside Google’s Search Algorithm
Inside the machine are various algorithms that take hundreds of factors into account to deliver the most relevant result to the searcher.
Each update is just another piece of the overall Google Search Algorithm.

HubSpot Internal Only
RankBrain is “involved in every query,” and affects the actual rankings “probably not in every query but in a lot of queries.”
