Search engine advertising – search engine advertising
Search engine optimization (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM) and search engine advertising (SEA) are parts of a larger whole with overlapping intersections.
Search engine marketing is a branch of online marketing and includes all measures to attract visitors to a web presence via web search engines.
At first glance, search engine advertising can be used independently of search engine optimization. Things are different when it comes to strategic direction.
If top rankings are difficult to achieve with the keywords, you can use SEA to check in advance whether it makes sense to invest the effort in SEO. The keyword analyzes cannot clearly clarify whether the relevant keywords perform well. This can be tested in terms of ROI or ROAS via ads.
It also always depends on the product and/or service, which makes more sense, SEO or SEA.
Another trend is that budgets are increasingly moving towards paid ads on Google & Co. Anyone who is honest knows that a ROAS (return on advertising spending) of 600% in the area of social media is a utopia for many. If agencies celebrate a ROAS of 150% as a success, then it is window dressing.
If I achieve sales of 7,500 euros with an advertising investment of 5,000 euros (150% ROAS), then the costs of the ads advertising agency are not included in this, nor are my own other costs such as wages, rent, purchasing, etc. myself a ROAS of 300% is unsatisfactory. Everything about it is hard to find.
Search engine advertising is a sensitive and sensitive issue that needs to be carefully considered.
