SERP

Answer in brief

A search engine results page, the page of links and features a search engine shows for one query.

What it means

SERP stands for search engine results page, the page a search engine returns after someone types a query. It usually mixes organic results, which are ranked links to pages, with paid ads and blocks such as maps, videos and answer boxes.

Many products store snapshots over time so that trends are visible.
