SSL become main aspect in SEO ranking because clients used to trust and access the sites which are SSL protected. If your website is eCommerce site then customer used to do payments only with SSL sites. SSL sites load faster than non-SSL site so it's automatically increase the page ranking.

When customer used to see the green padlock on top left corner of the web-browser then the click rate of such sites is greater than non-SSL site. Trust factor is associated with the SSL site.
