Customers are more likely to trust and complete purchases from sites that use HTTPS. SSL certificates are issued and rely on the trustworthiness of certificate authorities.

These certificates make your site secured. By introducing the clause of SSL certificate as one of the ranking factors, Google wants to make the entire web a secured place, without any malicious content present. By having SSL certificate, your site will have “https://” that makes your site secure.

Google finds around 9,500 new malicious websites every day. With the implementation of SSL certificate by every site, the online world will become malicious content or website free.
