The evolution of SERP topography is very interesting to track. If you go back ten years ago to the dawn of the local SERP, the archetypal local SERP was just 10 blue links. That made the technology SERP very boring to people. Universal Search was not brought into being until 2007. A webpage result was by default the nest answer to the usual local query. It was the only answer type that was provided by Google. July 19, 2013 was a big day for search marketers. Knowledge Graph was introduced and overnight changed search forever. Understanding the history of search helps us better understand the forces that will continue to shape SERP into the future.
