SEO vs. PPC: Which One is Right for Your Business?

There are tow major strategies that are part of digital marketing; search engine optimisation (SEO) and Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising. Both have their pros and cons, which means having a better understanding of the two to determine which one is right for your business, or should you focus on both?

What is SEO?

Search engine optimisation (SEO) involves optimising your website content to improve your ranking on search engine results pages (SERPs). This is organic marketing. You cannot buy your ranking, it needs an effective strategy that includes keyword research and analysis, on-page optimisation, acquiring back links, and improving site performance.

SEO is a long-term and sustainable strategy that boosts visibility and organic traffic without paying for it.

SEO Pros

Choosing SEO can provide numerous benefits, including:

SEO Cons

What is PPC?

Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising is paid digital marketing where you bid on keywords to display your adverts on search engines and other platforms. You pay when a user clicks on a link and is driven to your landing page. 

Unlike SEO, PPC can provide instant visibility, producing instant traffic and results.

Which One is Right for Your Business?

Every business is unique and so are your digital marketing needs. The answer on which one is right for your business is determined by your marketing budget, time line, and goals. If you need instant results to promote a new product, limited time offer, or generate leads fast, then PPC is the answer you are looking for.

If you want to focus on long-term growth, with higher ROI and sustainable long-term results, then SEO is the way to go. For a balanced approach, we recommend combining PPC and SEO, while you work on your SEO strategy. This combination helps you start generating traffic from the day your advert is launched, while your long-term SEO strategy works in the back ground. 

Conclusion

Both strategies are effective in increasing brand visibility and traffic online. The main differences includes PPC offering instant results, but can be expensive, while SEO is organic and free, but can take time to produce results.
