SERP
Also known as: Search Engine Results Page
A SERP is the page of results a search engine returns in response to a query.
A SERP (Search Engine Results Page) is what appears after you search. Beyond the classic list of links, it can include ads, featured snippets, image packs, local results, and AI-generated overviews.
Where and how you appear on the SERP shapes how much traffic you receive. Ranking first is valuable, but so is winning a featured snippet or being cited in an AI overview, since those occupy prominent space.
SEO
SEO is the practice of improving a website so it ranks higher in unpaid search results and attracts more relevant visitors.
AI Overview
An AI Overview is an AI-generated summary that answers a search query directly at the top of results, often citing source pages.
Backlink
A backlink is a link from another website to yours, treated by search engines as a signal of credibility and authority.
