A combination of SEM and SEO is most effective for conversion
Search engine marketing
Search engine marketing and search engine optimisation are great ways to increase traffic to your website and to encourage conversion. But it's by combining the two that you'll get the best results. We’ll explain how to do this best. Many people, especially small business owners, often confuse these two marketing fields by thinking they are one and the same. It's a conundrum and can be difficult to fathom. But, although they're inherently connected, they are two very different tactics for improving your findability by Google's search engine and the other big ones such as Bing and Yahoo!
Very different from paying for clicks
Optimize your pages for Google is a long term strategy. SEO stands for search engine optimisation. The term involves all the various actions you take to make sure your site is well placed in Google and each of the other search engines. You should observe the following:
- Google needs to find your website before it is able to send its Googlebots. Does your website have a sitemap submitted? Have you submitted your website to Google Webmaster Tools? These are simple actions that are worth doing.
- Your website structure: how is it organised? Can Google read the pages easily? Is the structure of the website easy to understand? Is the navigation simple to follow? Have you a pathway of internal links set up that connect all the different pages and create a pathway for the Googlebots?
- The content: are you using the right keywords? Are they the words your visitors will actually use to find their information? Are they positioned in the correct place in the text? And are you answering your visitors' search queries with your content? Google's algorithms will be scanning all this information and judging you on it.
- Have you given alt-tags to all your images? And made use of your keywords in them? This is what Google uses for scanning when it indexes and utilizes as part of the search returns. Even though it can’t necessarily see the image, it takes into account what terms you provide in the alt-tag.
- Site authority: do other websites find your content relevant enough to want to share with and link to you? And do you also refer your visitors to other useful information elsewhere on the internet?
A good review from Google on each of these three SEO fundamentals will mean you'll get rewarded with a higher ranking in the search results. But always remember that the bottom line is that content is king. Focus on the whole website. You need good quality content for your website if it's going to compete in the free search marketplace and if your pages are to be found by the visitors you are seeking to attract and convert. And what's more, good website content will also help you achieve better results with paid for search engine marketing.

Advertising with Google Adwords for quick results
There is also Search Engine Marketing. Generally, you advertise through Google. You bid on the keywords that are important to you. When someone uses that keyword in Google, your ad will be shown. Most search engine marketing will basically be the same as Google Advertising.
What are the benefits?
- You can achieve short-term brand awareness and traffic to your site, even if your site is not yet highly ranked through its organic search engine results.
- With Google Advertising, you pay for clicks to your website, not for showing the ad. It can be cost-effective, especially as you can set a maximum budget.
What are the downsides and how to avoid them?
With search engine marketing, the main disadvantage is that when you stop, your findability in Google immediately drops. This means less traffic to your site. In addition, you can easily lose out in the battle for the best keywords, with all the financial consequences. The cost for the keywords you're bidding on can change quickly if those keywords that drive traffic to your site through sponsored results suddenly become more popular. Google and similar search engines make their profit through a bidding strategy, with those companies that us a large budget for search engine marketing and that are willing to pay more for their ads and clicks getting greater exposure. The bids can become more expensive if news events or other circumstances such as increased competition drive up search engine traffic on the important keywords your company is targeting. Due to our years of expertise, we know exactly how an effective search engine marketing campaign works. We also always advise the added precaution of having a strong landing page that optimally converts via its keywords in itself. We can help you with the design and optimal on-page organisation of your content, with best SEO placement of keywords for this.
