The SERP Features insight 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 (e.g., videos, images, tweets, and more–full list below). These widgets are called SERP Features and can be analyzed at a keyword level within Similarweb.
SERP features continue to take more and more precious real estate on search result pages.
You can identify opportunities to expand your SERP presence by understanding:
Which SERP features are showing for a given keyword
If you/your competitors are showing up within SERP features
The aim 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 upon and drive traffic
Visibility/awareness: Because they show up high in the SERP, even if a SERP feature isn’t clicked on, it still creates impressions
Credibility: Being featured in a SERP feature helps your site appear to be an expert on a given query
