SERP features in the search response

SERP features are the rich modules around organic links: AI summaries, answer boxes, people-also-ask, related searches, and relevant links. OpenSERP returns them as best-effort blocks next to organic results.

  • Collect organic results plus rich SERP modules.
  • Keep feature type, title, text, links, position, and source result IDs where available.
  • Use feature blocks for SEO analysis, research, and AI grounding.

Beyond organic links

Search pages now mix organic links with AI summaries, answer boxes, people-also-ask, related searches, image packs, videos, and knowledge panels.

Structured enough to store

Feature data is returned under serp_features so it can be stored, compared over time, or attached to ranked results.

Frequently asked questions

Which SERP features are captured?

Best-effort blocks such as AI summaries, answer boxes, people-also-ask, related searches, relevant links, image packs, videos, and knowledge panels. Coverage varies by engine and query.

Should I rely on feature blocks always being present?

No. Treat them as best-effort enrichment on top of organic results, not a guaranteed field. Organic results remain the stable core of every response.
