What is a SERP?

SERP stands for "Search Engine Results Page." It refers to the page that a search engine displays in response to a user's query. When you enter a search term or question into a search engine like Google, Bing, or Yahoo, the search engine's algorithm processes your query and presents a list of relevant web pages, images, videos, and other content that match or relate to your search.

The SERP typically includes a combination of organic search results and paid advertisements. Organic search results are the web pages that the search engine deems most relevant to the user's query based on its ranking algorithm. These results are not influenced by direct payments to the search engine.


Paid advertisements, often referred to as "sponsored" or "paid" listings, are typically displayed at the top or bottom of the SERP. They are marked as ads and are usually relevant to the user's query, as advertisers bid on specific keywords to have their ads shown when those keywords are searched.

SERPs can also include additional features such as featured snippets, knowledge panels, local map listings, image and video carousels, and more, depending on the search engine and the specific query.

The goal of search engine optimization (SEO) is to improve a website's visibility and ranking on SERPs for relevant search queries, while search engine marketing (SEM) involves paid strategies to appear prominently in search results.
