What is SEM
Search Engine Marketing, SEM refers to pay-per-click (PPC) advertising because of the paid search methods used. SEM is the process of increasing website visibility on search engine results pages through paid search advertising. The most commonly known and used paid search tool is Google Ads.
Do Businesses Who
Use SEM Need SEO
Yes. SEO is to make sure your site fast and user-friendly. You need this for SEM as well. If it isn’t, you’ll waste money on that click. Secondly, SEO is the long term marketing strategy. When you appear in more searches organically, you can focus your SEM efforts on other keywords to expand your reach.
Why is SEM important?
It creates Instant Brand Awareness
As stated, SEO and unpaid social media take time. Google says it can take up to a year for a quality site to scale the rankings. And your ability to do so depends on strategies applied and what the competition is doing. In contrast, SEM positions you at the top or bottom of page one. A business that has no current visibility or brand recognition can instantly get some attention.
It Reaches People in
the Right Place & Time
People use search engines because they’re looking for something. Being the one to deliver it, helps you build a trust bank account with that person. Even if that click doesn’t result in an immediate sale, it’s a touch point that furthers the person’s journey toward becoming a paying customer. If you have the right systems in place to turn this visibility into paying customers, that’s a huge impact on your revenues.
It Reinforces Name
Recognition
When you get a new customer, you may think that person just discovered your account. But, it may have started a long time ago. A consistent presentation of your brand during that time helped turn a prospect into a paying customer. Recognition becomes familiarity. People notice brands they’re familiar with over brands they aren’t. They would rather spend a few more bucks on a familiar brands instead.
