SERP Features

SERP Features

Search engines constantly improve their SERP offering to become increasingly intelligent and in tune with users. 

SERP stands for Search Engine Results Page. This results page consists of relevant website listings in response to the search. The content appearing in the SERP depends entirely on the kind of query searched, generating a different results page every time.

Depending on the search, several elements, or SERP features, will be displayed on the page. It’s not just a list of blue links anymore. Nowadays, Google and other search engines offer a range of features that create entire ecosystems, including answer cards, carousels, videos, images and social assets.

What are SERP features?

SERP features are non-traditional search results returned by Google; these SERP features usually expand the organic search results to include richer content and visuals.

What does SERP stand for in SEO?
