Why Google Doodles?
For Google, it’s a tool used to educate users about information (people, events, holidays, etc.) they probably didn’t know about. Apart from popular holidays, Google celebrates historical figures that have made incredible impacts on society. Google Doodle also kind of depicts the human side of Google as a company. Some believe that the company uses these doodles as a form if marketing but we can’t really say how much impact it has on their traffic or if it has any impact at all.
