Ex. 1. Treasure hunt in the vast forest:

To better understand SERP, imagine that you are searching for a treasure in a vast forest. But you don't know how to find the treasure, so to help you, you have a map that will guide you to the treasure. In this case, the forest is your search engine, from where you can find the treasure (webpage or SERP) with the help of a map (search query). And this is called SERP, which means "Search Engine Result Page.".

The results that appear for your search query are matches to your query, which you can use to get information.


Ex. 2: In another example, you can go to a library where you can get some information. But there are thousands of books out there covering thousands of different topics, but you have a specific question in mind and you want a related book that has all that information. So for this, you will take help from someone present in the library, who will place 5 to 10 books in front of you as per your question. So what that person brought to you is your search engine, and the books are those websites that provide information related to your searched query.



 

What are Search Result Pages (SERP)? How does it work?

If understood in simple language, the search engine result page is the page that appears when any user comes to any search engine (Google, Bing, Yahoo!, DuckDuckGo, Yandex, etc.) and searches his query. Whatever results appear related to the query, that page is called Search Result Pages (SERPs). In the topic searched by the user, two types of results appear on the search results page: paid ads and organic results.

1. Paid Ads: Suppose you searched a query like "Best Smartwatch For Men" on the search engine. So the watch ad results that appear at the top of the search result page come under pad ads. Which is used by a business, brand, or seller by paying money to a search engine according to the category of its product to appear on top of its search results. And the truth engine first recommends to you only those products whose sellers have paid money to the search engine to show them to you as per your query.



2. Organic Result: This includes those contents that are related to the searched query but are not paid ads, such as a website or a post. For example, the article you are reading now, which you have searched by typing a query in the search engine, also appears in the organic results. But in organic results, 5 to 10 websites or articles show up on the first page of the search engine. The reason for this is that, firstly, those articles contain keywords related to the query, and secondly, their SEO is done well.
