Search Engine Marketing (Sem) With Kulture Digital In Austin

What is Search Marketing?

Search engine marketing (SEM), also referred to as just search marketing (SM), is the marriage of search engine optimization (SEO) and pay-per-click (PPC) advertising. The short term goal is to utilize digital advertising to show up in search results for targeted keywords while waiting for the SEO to kick in. The long term goal is to dominate the search results by showing up in multiple places. When your website shows up in the paid section, in the map section, and in the top of the organic section — we call that the search trifecta. We LOVE the trifecta!

A fantastic digital campaign bringing potential customers to a perfectly designed website with a killer video has exponentially more power when combined. If you remove one of those pieces, the branding falters. When you get all the facets working together, it’s far more valuable than the sum of its parts.

Search marketing is a key piece to the digital puzzle. It keeps your business top of mind with potential customers and it is great for both quick and long term lead generation. Are you ready to transform your website into a sales force?

SM is a Crucial Part of Your Digital Marketing Strategy

It cannot be stated enough just how important search engine optimization is. With that being said, it’s still just one aspect of a good digital marketing strategy. Pay-per-click (PPC) is the perfect compliment to SEO because it allows your business to DOMINATE search result pages. Even if you own the top organic search result, you could still lose clicks to the businesses who are bidding for the paid placement at the top of the page. The best move is to own them both.

Search Marketing Keeps You Top-of-Mind

The internet is a cluttered mess. This makes it extremely difficult for a business to stand out. The best way to combat this is to determine the most valuable keywords that apply to your business, and then formulate a search marketing plan. A well-implemented mix of PPC and SEO will ensure that when potential customers search for the keywords that you are focusing on, your business will be ALL OVER that search engine results (SERP) page.

Search Marketing is Great for Both Quick and Long Term Lead Generation

Search marketing has the unique ability to effectively run a sprint and a marathon SIMULTANEOUSLY. When you combine a long-term SEO strategy with a fast-acting PPC campaign, the results are explosive. Initially, you get the immediate gratification of showing up in paid results. Once the SEO starts working, you add on the organic clicks. Finally, as you maintain the search marketing plan, you reap the benefits of both.

SM Covers All the Bases

As we stated earlier, here at Kulture Digital we LOVE the search trifecta. Nothing screams authority more than OWNING the search engine results page. It’s also a great way to ensure that your website will continue to do well as new technologies emerge. When voice search becomes mainstream, for instance, showing up at the top of search results will be even more important than it is today.
