SEM refers to paid advertising on search engines (such as Google, Bing, Yahoo!) that places your ads in front of users actively searching for your products/services.

By contrast, SEO (search engine optimization) involves optimizing your website content and structure so that you rank organically (without paying for placement).

Together they complement each other: SEO builds your long-term organic presence, and SEM helps you capture motivated buyers more immediately.

There are several benefits:

• You’re targeting people actively searching for your solutions — i.e., an engaged audience.
• SEM is measurable: you can see exact clicks, spend, conversions and adjust accordingly.
• You can launch fairly quickly compared to many traditional advertising channels.
• Using different ad types (search, display, shopping, remarketing) you can tailor campaigns to drive qualified leads, conversions or brand awareness.

The services include:

• Search Ads: Ads triggered by keywords when users are searching.
• Display Ads: Visual / rich media ads across websites and mobile apps targeting selected audiences.
• Shopping Ads: Particularly for eCommerce – highlighting products, targeting users who are ready to purchase.
• Remarketing: Targeting past site visitors to bring them back, increase conversions and build brand.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The budget depends on your business goals, competition, keywords you target and the geographic/targeting scope.

For example, campaigns can range from $500/month to $20,000+ per month, depending on scale.

A common approach: start modestly, gather data, then scale what works.

Key steps:

• Keyword research: identifying relevant terms your customers use.
• Set up targeting: device, location, time-of-day, audience segments.
• Launch ads and monitor performance: clicks, conversions, cost per click, ROI.
• Monthly reporting & adjustments: we test landing pages (A/B testing), eliminate underperforming keywords, reallocate budget to best performers.

Because SEM places your ads in front of users actively searching, you can often see faster visibility and lead generation compared to only relying on organic search.

However, the speed and magnitude of results depend on your budget, competition level, the quality of your landing pages, and your conversion funnel. ZOO Media will provide detailed monthly reports so you can track actual metrics and ROI.

They are distinct but complementary:

• SEM brings paid traffic and quick visibility; SEO builds organic traffic and long-term sustainable presence.
• The insights from SEM (which keywords convert) can inform your SEO strategy. SEO can reduce your reliance on paid spend over time.
