The SERP Features tool and insights offers a view into the widgets presented on a search engine results page (SERP) for a particular keyword.
 |
This feature focuses on a search engine results page (SERP) outside of regular web results. These widgets are called SERP Features and can be analyzed at a keyword level within Similarweb. Note: See a list of SERP features below.
Search engine results pages are key drivers of digital traffic, and the number and variety of SERP features continue to take more and more precious real estate on search result pages.
To find opportunities to expand your SERP presence it's key to understand:
Which SERP features are showing for a specific keyword
Are you and/or your competitors showing up within high visibility SERP features
The aim of the SERP features tool is to help you develop your content strategy. For example, instead of focusing solely on showing up in regular web results, you can think about creating other forms of content, like a supplementary video.
Three key reasons why you should consider optimizing your content to show up on SERP features:
Traffic: SERP features are often clicked on and can drive significant traffic
Visibility/awareness: Because they show up high in the on the result page, the SERP feature creates and impression even if it isn’t clicked on
Credibility: Being featured in a SERP feature helps your site appear to be an expert on a given query
