Adding a 2048-bit SSL certificate with SHA-256 hash algorithm is a legal and approved method to boost your website rankings in Google Search. Google announced that every website with trusted SSL would have better positions compared to those websites that have no active SSL certificate.
The past few month's analysis showed positive results to many website owners including our own website. Please note, changes make a light/minor increase in the rankings while the content quality stays the major factor. However, sometimes even one positive increase may significantly improve sales and conversions.
