Search Engine Results Page (SERP)

Also known as: Search Engine Results Page

A SERP (Search Engine Results Page) is the page a search engine returns in response to a query, listing organic results, ads, and rich features.

Modern SERPs are far more than ten blue links. They include paid ads, featured snippets, 'People Also Ask' boxes, local map packs, image and video carousels, and AI-generated overviews — each competing for the user's attention.

These rich features change the SEO game: ranking #1 organically matters less if a featured snippet or AI Overview sits above you. Winning visibility now means optimising for the specific features your target queries trigger.

Structured data (schema markup) is how you make a page eligible for many of these features — FAQ dropdowns, breadcrumbs, review stars, and how-to steps — which boost click-through even at the same rank.
