Keyword
Keyword is a bit of a misnomer, because it can refer to a word or entire phrase that appears in web searches.
However, in either case, it refers to a word or phrase representing a specific search term and idea. Websites will build strategies to rank for particular keywords that are closely related to their products or services, in order to generate more traffic and leads.

Pay Per Click (PPC)
Pay Per Click advertising is a shorthand for any digital ad platform where you only pay for the number of times users click on your ad. This can be an effective way to ensure that you are not paying for exposure to audiences who won’t be interested in your product or service.
An example of PPC advertising would be a Google search ad.

Search Engine Results Page (SERP)
Search Engine Results Pages, or SERPs, are the numerous listings for search engine queries that are not strictly organic results. In a typical Google search, for example, you may see product listings for sale, a local map with business listing and their contact information, a “questions also asked” panel, and more. Getting your site and services listed in these can be a valuable way to increase both traffic and sales.
