7 Online marketing strategies

1) Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a strategy that ranks websites higher on search engines. It can be done manually or with the help of automated software.

SEO works by improving the visibility of a website in the organic (natural) search engine results through non-paid and unpaid methods. Organic SEO is done to make sure that your website appears higher in the search engine’s natural or un-paid listings for relevant keywords.

2) Search Engine Marketing (SEM)

Search engine marketing (SEM) is a type of internet marketing that involves the promotion of websites by increasing their visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs) primarily through paid advertising.

This enables businesses to reach more customers and grow their sales. It is especially important for small and medium-sized businesses that do not have the time or resources to optimize their website traffic on their own:

They can focus more on making an attractive offer, while letting SEM do the heavy lifting. Businesses can either purchase keywords from existing advertisers who bid on those words, or they can choose to create customized ads based on information such as demographics, location, and occupation.
