Rank higher in Google
With SSL certificate your website can rank higher in Google. The browser checks each website how secure it is to connect to it. When there is a SSL certificate to the website, the browser then checks its expiry date and its Certification Authority (CA). If it is issued from an authorised as trusted CA, the browser will display without a warning. Google as well as other companies with web browsers authorises the trusted CA, thus a website with the SSL certificate will rank higher.
