Search engines are the best traffic source for any website. In fact, around 5 billion searches happen on Google every single day.
It’s also been reported that search engines drive 10 times more traffic to shopping sites than social media. And 72% of consumers who did a local search visited a store within 5 miles.
With that said, SEO and PPC are both important.
Think about it: search engines are businesses. They need to make money in order to operate. As a result, most, if not all platforms will give premium placements to paying customers.
For commercial keywords, the entire fold is covered in ads, making organic results near invisible. A searcher would have to scroll down for a while before even entertaining the thought of going to your page.
However, Google doesn’t show ads on every page for every search. There needs to be some sort of commercial intent in order for ads to appear.
So, even if you had an infinite budget for PPC, you would not be ranking #1 for every keyword.
This is why we have another acronym, SEM, where we can combine the two strategies and truly take our search engine marketing to another level.
And in this video, you’ll learn a few strategies on when and why to implement SEO, PPC or both.
