What Is Search Engine Marketing (SEM)?

Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is the strategic use of paid advertising on search engines like Google and Bing to drive targeted traffic to your website.

Unlike SEO, which builds organic visibility over time, SEM delivers immediate exposure to potential customers actively searching for your products or services.

In short:

  • SEM = Paid ads on search engines
  • SEO = Organic (unpaid) rankings
  • Best results = A tailored mix of both
