SEO is the organic visitor drive process from the search engine and SEM is the paid process. You have to pay individual click for the SEM but in SEO you have to for that.

SEO is for orgainc and SEM is for paid. One should choose seo if you are looking for long term gains and sem if you want results soon. SEM will work or give results only till there is money in your campaign.

The difference between SEO and SEM is simply that Search Engine Optimization is part of Search engine marketing or Search marketing as it is widely known. Both processes aim in increasing visibility in search engines. ... It involves other methods that can get you more search engine visitors like PPC advertising.

SEO

The main difference between these two terms is that search engine optimization is simply a component of search engine marketing. As mentioned above, SEM includes components of paid search, such as PPC and also SMM (social media marketing).

It is important to note that you should never use the terms SEO and SEM interchangeably, because although they work hand in hand, they are not the same term.
