SEO focuses on making the website appear at the top of search results when an Internet user types in keywords related to your business. SEM, on the contrary, consists of bidding on keywords and investing heavily in those that the Internet user is likely to type in the search bar.

The main difference between SEM vs. SEO is that SEM is a paid strategy and SEO is an organic strategy. Like most things in the search industry, the definitions related to search marketing have evolved . Some marketers may consider SEM to be an umbrella term that includes both paid and organic strategies.

SEO means getting Google rank using organic on and off-page methods. In SEM you need to pay Google for PPC (Pay Per Click) ads.

SEO is the process in which we do not pay any single buck to the search engine for better ranking while in SEM, we pay search engines to get ranking or for ads.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a marketing tactic focused on increasing the growing visibility of a website through organic means (non-paid) in search engine results. It increases the quantity and quality of traffic to your website and improves the ranking in search engines like Google and Bing, with no generated payment. This usually involves enhancing content by using popular organic keywords that are most searched over the internet.

Search Engine Marketing or SEM is divided into SEO and PPC.
