SERP (Search Engine Results Page)

A SERP, or search engine results page, is the page a search engine returns in response to a query. It lists organic results alongside features such as ads, featured snippets, image packs and people-also-ask boxes.

What is on a SERP

A modern SERP mixes organic results ranked by relevance with paid ads and rich features — featured snippets, knowledge panels, image and video packs, local results and "people also ask". The exact mix depends on the query and the searcher's intent.

Why SERPs matter for SEO

Where your page appears on the SERP, and which features occupy the space above it, decides how much traffic a ranking actually earns. Two pages in "position 1" can get very different clicks depending on the features around them.
