It was created to help writers decide how to choose words that are easy to understand (especially with readers who speak English as their second language) based on Google search results.
Their theory is that if an expression or phrase has a high result, it’s the more common way to say it; lower numbers denote more difficult or awkward phrases.
Not sure how much relevance this holds, but it might help you out if you’re ever stuck on word choice (and don’t want to turn to flipping a coin).
