SERP
A SERP (Search Engine Results Page) is the page a search engine returns for a query — the list of results plus features like ads, snippets and AI Overviews. Only indexed pages can appear in it.
What it means
The page of results Google returns for a query; only indexed URLs can show up there.
Why it matters for indexing
Being indexed is the prerequisite for ranking — no index, no SERP presence, no traffic.
How to check it
Search site:yourdomain.com/page to confirm the URL is in the index and visible.
