SEM: A Powerful Digital Marketing Strategy

SEM or Search Engine Marketing is a digital marketing strategy that involves promoting a website through paid advertising on search engine results pages (SERPs). The goal of SEM is to increase a website's visibility and attract more traffic, ultimately leading to more conversions and revenue.

Paid Search Advertising Methods

SEM can include a variety of paid search advertising methods, such as:

• Pay-per-click (PPC) ads
• Cost-per-click (CPC) ads

These ads appear on the top and bottom of search engine results pages, and are typically labeled as "sponsored" or "ad" to indicate that they are paid advertisements.

• Increased visibility: SEM can help your website appear at the top of search engine results pages, making it more visible to potential customers.

• Identify your target audience and the keywords they are searching for
