Google's ecosystem of services has exponentially ballooned over the years. Whether it's the smart home market, mobile, entertainment, or the web, Google has managed to attain a dominant position in a wide range of sectors.

Being such a large conglomerate, Google also has a number of lesser-known products apart from the chartbusters. Here are some useful Google tools and apps you may have overlooked and should give a try.

1. Google Shopping

Google Shopping product list

Google Shopping is an aggregator platform that lets you browse listings from a bunch of e-commerce services. The website functions as an extension to the widgets Google displays when you look up a particular product on its search engine. Although the website is still in working order, Google has phased out the Google Shopping app for Android and iOS.

On Google Shopping, you can search for items and check their availability as well as pricing wherever they're up for sale. In addition, dedicated pages for products can be accessed directly on Google Shopping, and you can even read their reviews and descriptions.

Google Shopping also takes cues from the data Google has on you, such as your browsing habits, and suggests products you might be interested in. It's compatible with several categories including Electronics, Skin Care, Books, and more.

2. Google Jamboard

Google Jamboard is from the company's hardware division and is a digital whiteboard for enterprises. Jamboard is essentially a 55-inch, 4K touchscreen on which teams can scribble and discuss.

Since the board can connect to the internet, all your sessions are uploaded automatically, eliminating the need for you to manually take pictures.

Plus, there are a series of collaboration tools that enables you to work together with remote employees too. Jamboard can detect up to 16 touchpoints at once so that multiple users can sketch and brainstorm.

Keep in mind that you don't necessarily need to use the physical Jamboard in order to use the tool—you can also take advantage of the Google Jamboard app on your web browser.

3. Google Sites

Google Sites interface

Google Sites is a design tool for quickly developing mockups for new websites. It features a straightforward layout where you can drag and drop elements and edit them however you want without going through any learning curves.

Google Sites also offers a couple of themes you can apply. On top of that, you have the ability to create and link pages for producing the entire website.

Moreover, Sites integrates well with Google's other products such as Sheets and Docs, letting you import documents or charts. You can share your sites with other users and collaborate with them in real-time.

Once you're done with the design, you can preview the site and publish it at a custom URL if you'd like to instantly share it with someone else.

4. Chromecast Built-In

Chromecast Built-In

Chromecast Built-In builds upon Google Cast's technology. It allows you to stream thousands of apps and TV shows, plus millions of songs from your phone, tablet, or laptop, straight to your TV or speakers.

This creates a high-definition and immersive experience. To use Chromecast Built-In on Cast-compatible TVs, you need to open a Cast-enabled app (like Netflix or Hulu), and then tap the Cast button.

With Cast-compatible TVs and displays, you can now stream your favorite games, shows, music, movies, sports, and more on the big screen using your phone or other mobile device as a remote.

5. Google Person Finder

Google Person Finder

Finding people in the aftermath of a crisis or natural disaster often feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. With its rich background in search, Google's Person Finder helps you search for, find, and reconnect with friends and loved ones in the event of natural and humanitarian disasters.

Person Finder is a community-based approach to helping people find missing persons in the aftermath of disasters. People separated during a crisis can reach out for help when locating missing persons. Responders (individuals and organizations) can then help them by providing useful information.

The people who need this information can access it and use it to try to find their missing loved ones. Person Finder is an open-source web application that uses the People Finder Interchange Format (PFIF) to process data. It is both a registry and a message board for survivors, and people affected by disasters.

It was originally created by volunteer Google engineers following the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

6. Google Domains

Google Domains search

Google Domains is another handy utility by the company that, as the name suggests, lets you manage and purchase domains. On Google Domains, you can buy new addresses or transfer your existing ones if you find the interface more appealing.

In addition, it offers a series of other tools for tasks you need to perform after acquiring a new domain. That includes site creation apps from Google's partners like Squarespace, Wix, WordPress, and services to form a custom email account.

Google also throws in a few complementary add-ons such as a privacy filter, customizable sub-domains, email forwarding, and more. It supports all the extensions as well, whether you want .biz or .dev.

7. Google One

Google One storage tool

In 2018, Google revamped its cloud storage subscription services. It's now called Google One and includes much more than just additional cloud space.

Apart from extra storage, Google One brings you 24/7 access to Google Support, the option to share your plan with up to five other family members, Google Store discounts, Google Play credits, and more.

It's not available globally but it can be bought in a ton of regions such as the US. Google One starts at $1.99/month for 100GB and goes all the way up to $9.99/month. The additional storage is applied across other Google products like Drive, Gmail, and Photos.

Discover More Lesser-Known Google Apps

Google has expanded its reach into a wide gamut of internet fields. Most of the time, however, users don't go past its leading services such as Google Maps and Google Search.

The aforementioned apps are just some of Google's lesser-known products. Google is always working on new and interesting projects, so this list is bound to expand in the future.
