Ads with irrelevant or uninspired copy lead to low CTR, damaging ad ranking and ad visibility.

SEM vs PPC vs Paid Search
Many businesses confuse SEM, PPC, and Paid Search, but understanding the differences is key for maximizing ROI. As an expert SEM Consultant, I integrate all three strategies to deliver holistic, high-performing campaigns.
SEM (Search Engine Marketing)
A comprehensive approach covering all paid search advertising, including Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads). SEM focuses on driving targeted traffic, improving conversions, and aligning campaigns with business objectives.
PPC (Pay-Per-Click)
A payment model within SEM where you pay only when a user clicks your ad. Optimizing PPC campaigns involves precise bid management, targeted keywords, and ad relevance to reduce costs and maximize conversions.
Paid Search
Advertising on search engines to capture users actively searching for your products or services. Paid search is about intent-driven targeting, ensuring campaigns reach users when they are most likely to convert.
As your SEM Consultant, I create integrated campaigns that combine SEM, PPC, and Paid Search for efficient, scalable, and measurable results.
