Search Engine Optimisation vs. Search Engine Marketing: What’s the Difference?
SEO vs. SEM—they’re the same thing right?
Not exactly. Confused by the terms “search engine optimisation” vs. “search engine marketing?” Don’t be. There is an important difference between the two and it isn’t complicated.
What’s the Difference?
The terms “search engine optimisation” and “search engine marketing” are often used interchangeably. Even some so-called ‘experts’ in the field commonly swap the two terms, which tends to add to the confusion. It’s important to note that these two terms have different meanings.
Search engine optimisation (SEO) is actually a component of search engine marketing—a function of the SEM process, if you will. SEO is the act of optimising a website for organic or natural search engine listings. Search engine optimisation is arguably the most cost-effective function in a search engine marketing campaign, yet still just one element.
Search engine marketing (SEM) is the process of marketing a website via Internet search engines; whether by improving rank in organic or natural listings, paid or sponsored listings or a combination thereof.
A comprehensive search engine marketing campaign is inclusive of (at least) the following functions:
- Search engine optimisation
- Search engine and directory submission management
- Paid inclusion and trusted feed programs
- Pay-for-placement management (includes pay-per-click)
- Link popularity / reputation development
- ROI and performance monitoring and reporting
So don’t be confused by the SEO / SEM enigma. Now that you know the difference between the two, it’s not as complicated as it first seemed. Search engine optimisation is simply a component of search engine marketing, period.
