What is SERP Movement?

To understand what SERP movement is we must first learn what SERP stands for and what does it mean

SERP

SERP stands for Search Engine Results Page. This is a very commonly used term in the field of internet marketing or online buisiness. Since all the online businesses depend upon online visitors and 95+% of online visitors find their desired information with the help of Search Engines, where their websites appear on Search Engine Results Page is really important for them.

SERP Movement

SERP movement refers to the movement of a website's position in the search results. Consider a new website for women's shoes was ranking on 10th page for the search term "Women's Shoes". After the sites owner did some white hat SEO to the site, the site started appearing on the second page of search results. The movement of the sites position from 10th page of results to the second page of results is an example of SERP movement.

If a website is moving upward in the search results, it is called positive SERP movement while a downward movement will be referred to as negative SERP movement.

The above picture shows the dashboard of a rank tracker website that shows ranking overview of two websites. As you can see that upper website has a little better condition than the lower one as it has one positive movement and two ngeative serp improvements.
