Why else would they sell prime search engine results page (SERPs) real estate as what is (if you look closely) specifically annotated as an “Ad”—sometimes giving the top five or six listings to these ads?

In order for people to go to Google to see (and more importantly, click through) these ads, Google needs to be seen as a resource. This impression is what will keep people coming back to the platform for more answers, while simultaneously generating more impressions that can be attributed to Google’s platform and earn them money for each ad that garners a click-through.
