Everybody knows how a Google Search Engine Result Page looks like, and we usually visit there to search a variety of keywords and gathering diverse resources. You also get to see some paid and organic results based on your type of search. 

The pages may look different depending upon the things you are searching for. For example, if you search for a product, you will get the results for different shops on Google SERPs to buy that product. On the other hand, if you are searching about the universe, planets, or any other thing to know further about it, you will get the totally different looking SERP using that particular keyword. Here you will hardly get any paid or sponsored results. Instead, you can notice some knowledge graph containing lots of information for the keyword you are searching.

Here I tell you what Google Search Engine result Page elements consist of.

Google decides upon the best fit result as per your search query comprising of news results, images, and shopping results along with the normal results. You are free to apply some filters if you want to modify the search according to your needs.

There can be shown one and many ads depending upon the number of people searching for a certain search term and are ready to pay for it. The paid results can be easily recognized by the ‘ad’ displayed in the front of the website.
