SERP Features can be an important factor when it comes to how Google views your site. Being able to gain the advantage of SERP Features can help you bypass your competitors.
Luckily, Semrush has a number of reports and tools that can help you research your own SERP Features.
You can find data on any domain's presence in up to 38 different SERP features (including knowledge panels, reviews, recipes, and more). You'll find links at the bottom of this page to read more about each SERP feature and how we collect that data.
Each of these tools has specific ways in which you can research your market and niche for SERP Features. Follow the quick guides below to get the most out of each tool and report:
