What Is Search Engine Marketing (SEM)?
Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is the use of paid ads on search engines like Google and Bing to attract highly targeted traffic to your website.
Unlike SEO, which focuses on growing organic visibility over time, SEM provides immediate visibility by placing your business in front of people who are actively searching for your products or services.
In short:
- SEM = Paid search ads
- SEO = Organic (unpaid) rankings
- Best results = A combination of both
