What is SERP?

A SERP (Search Engine Results Page) is the page Google shows for a query — the mix of organic results, ads, snippets, and AI Overviews a user sees.

Why SERP matters

Analyzing the SERP for a keyword shows the real intent and the content format that ranks — which is why SERP analysis is a core step before writing.
