SEARCH ENGINE MARKETING
WHAT IS SEM?
SEM or Search Engine Marketing is the marketing of a business using paid advertising on search engine results pages (or SERPs). Marketers bid on keywords that users of services, such as Google and Bing, might enter when looking for certain products and/or services. Search engine marketing is commonly recognized for being a critical part of any purchasing decision, often being leveraged while consumers research the product and/or service, comparison shop, and ultimately locate the ideal retailer of that product and/or service
