SEM Vs SEO

For those familiar with marketing, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a term that is often confused with SEM. SEO is a partial strategy used together with PPC campaigns to create the foundation of SEM. While SEO can take an average of four to six months to work, you can see traffic and conversions with SEM almost instantly.  

Another main difference between SEO and SEM is that many people are drawn to SEO because they think it is free as it is based on organic search results. While you do not need to pay when someone clicks on your site, it will take a lot of time, effort, and money such as needing to use paid SEO tools without the guarantee that your website would rank. 

Compared to SEM that is 100% PPC advertising, you are spending but you will get results in return. In the short-term, PPC campaigns are generally cheaper than SEO. Most SEM agencies use a flat fee pricing model with an average of $499 to $999 per month and beyond.
