Car2cover UK (ID: 000000c55380b257) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/31/2020 This is not a helpful extension. It is simply a piece of software which redirects you to other companies providing paid SEO services. It is just generating affiliate income for the extension creator. Google, be ashamed you do not monitor this.
