Terms definitions

1. ↑ search engine results page. A Search Engine Results Page (SERP) is a list of web pages shown by a search engine in response to a specific keyword query made by the user. The main parts of a SERP include organic search results, query, and advertisements. Organic results refer to the listings generated by the search engine's algorithm based on relevance to the user's search query. On the other hand, sponsored results or advertisements, are paid listings that appear above organic results. SERPs also feature rich snippets, which provide a brief summary of the webpage's content to give users a quick overview. These results are typically shown on major search engines like Google, Yahoo!, Bing, Petal, Sogou, among others. Understanding SERPs and how they work is essential for enhancing user experience and tailoring search results to user needs.
