If you’re a business owner, you likely have a website. But if you want your business to be found by potential customers, it’s important that your site is visible in search results. Here are some ways to increase the visibility on a website using SEO and SEM:
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the “natural” or un-paid (“organic”) search results. SEO consists of all activities that can be undertaken to ensure that a website can be found by users who are seeking information from within its content.
It’s important to remember that while SEO attempts to improve rankings, there are many other factors involved in determining where websites rank on SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages). For example, if you have multiple domains with similar content and one domain has more backlinks than another domain does then this could cause one domain to rank higher than another even if both domains have equal amounts of good quality content
Paid Search/PPC/SEM
PPC, or pay-per-click advertising, is a form of online advertising where advertisers pay each time one of their ads is clicked. PPC ads are commonly displayed above or to the right of organic search results. They can also appear in search results on Google and Bing as well as on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
PPC ads are usually more expensive than organic listings because they’re more targeted to what people are searching for at any given moment in time. For example: If you’re looking for a new pair of shoes online but don’t know what brand you want yet (you just know they have to be red), then an ad offering up some suggestions based on your preferences could be useful!
Social Media
Social media is the easiest way to get your message out there. It’s also great for increasing brand awareness and getting feedback from customers.
For example, if you’re trying to sell a product or service on your website, then using social media might help you find new leads. You can use Facebook Ads or Google Adwords (search engine marketing) to target people who have shown interest in similar things as yours before–this is called “targeting.” This will make sure that only relevant people see what you’re advertising about the product/service that they might be interested in buying!
Add a takeaway here.
SEO and SEM are two important components of digital marketing. SEO is the process of improving your website’s visibility in search engines, while SEM refers to online advertising on platforms like Google AdWords or Facebook ads.
