Google, Alphabet, and the most important products

Post by NetGuru »

Many people use Google every day, but not everyone knows that Google is part of a larger parent company called Alphabet Inc.

Alphabet became the parent company in 2015. Since then, Google has continued as the main subsidiary focused on internet services, cloud, mobile platforms, productivity tools, advertising, AI, and consumer products.


What is Alphabet?

Alphabet is the holding company above Google. The idea behind this structure was to separate Google’s main business from broader long-term ventures and corporate oversight.

For normal users, the name Google is still the one that matters most, because that is the brand behind Search, Android, Chrome, Gmail, Maps, YouTube, Workspace, and many other products.


The Most Important Google Products

1. Google Search
Google Search is still the best-known Google product and one of the company’s most important services. For many people, it is the main entry point to the web.
