You search for 'HVAC' and we find heating and cooling. You type 'carports' and we know you mean carport installation. You ask about 'clear aligners' and we point you to orthodontists. We measured what people actually type into Google and added all those names to our search.
This matters because a lot of folks don't use the textbook term. You might call it 'hot shot trucking' instead of expedited freight. You might say 'eye exam' instead of optometry. We added Spanish names too, so Spanish-speaking neighbors can search in the way that feels natural to them.
The names came from real search data. If hundreds of people searched for something and landed on the wrong page, we fixed it.
