Are SEO and SEM services worth your time and money?
Well, it depends on who you are, but if you are a small business owner like myself, I can tell you that, yes, they most definitely are. At least they have proven to be beneficial for me and my company.
Allow me to backtrack for a moment. What exactly are SEO and SEM services? Firstly, SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, and SEM is an acronym for Search Engine Marketing. Although the two concepts are similar, there are key differences between SEO and Sem services.
The best way to understand this is to look at SEM as a broader term which includes SEO as one technique within it. Think of, for example, the practice of medicine. Medicine is the broad term which includes within it the specific study of neurology.
SEO is, specifically, the act of improving the rank of a website on the pages of search engine results. There are numerous ways that this can be accomplished, but the most common (and often the most effective) is through content generation.
Firms that offer SEO and SEM services that are worth your time and money will have an in house staff of talented writers who compose creative, compelling, relevant articles and blog posts. These pieces of content can then be linked to your website and (once again if the firm can provide quality SEO services) will be shared on multiple social media websites.
When speaking with Seo consultants, be sure to have them lay out all of the services their firm has available. Along with content generation and social media posts, the SEO and SEM services worth employing should be able to offer great website and infographic design.
Without a well designed website, SEO and SEM services will be useless. Sure, SEO can optimize your website positioning on Google, but when people click on your link to find a poorly organized or difficult to navigate mess, they will be likely to click back to find another business.
