Search Engine Marketing
is a form of Internet marketing that aims to promote your website by increasing
its visibility in search engines - typically via SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
and PPC (Pay-Per-Click) advertising. By achieving better visibility you increase
the volume and quality of traffic to your website.
Why SEO is Important to Your Business
The primary goal of organic (non-paid) SEO is to increase the ranking of your website
for specific key phrases in the search engine result pages. The more relevant your
website is to its audience, the higher your website will rank organically.
According to a variety of studies, there is a direct relation between the amount
of attention a link receives and its rank in the results. In short, the higher you
will rank, the more traffic - and leads - you will attract.
Why PPC is Important to Your Business
The main objective of pay-per-click (PPC) is to acquire new customers from keyword-triggered
advertisements, which are displayed on search engine results pages. Through keyword
selection and relevant ad copy you capture searchers at different stages of the
buying cycle.
And, with complete control over your daily spend and with a multitude of tools designed
to improve your ROI, you have at your fingertips a very powerful and cost-effective
lead generation tool.
According to Piper Jaffray, the cost-per-lead from search engines is $0.45 - the
lowest across various direct marketing methods, while leads acquired from direct
mail cost $9.94.
