Is Google an American company?

Yes, Google is an American company. Google was founded in 1998 by Sergey Brin and Larry Page at Stanford University, where they were both graduate students. Brin and Page went on to serve as the heads of Google for almost 20 years. They both currently still sit on the board of directors of Alphabet, the company that now is over Google and other ventures.

While Google is an American-owned company, it is also a multinational company, because it owns and controls the production of services in countries other than its home country. Google is the largest search engine, and it is used throughout the world. In fact, there is a 92.2% chance that if you use a search engine to ask something, you are using Google.
