Search Engine Marketing
Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is the process of getting your website to appear further up google than your competitors, ideally as the first result. It includes Search Engine Optimisation, and other strategies including building links to your website, because links to your website count as votes in the eyes of the search engines.
Showing at the top position in Google for a highly competitve term can generate tens or even hundreds of quality leads per day, and that is why companies will spend thousands of pounds to beat their competitors.
This isn't to say if you don't want to spend thousands of pounds that you have no hope of showing up on Google. For less competitive search terms, such as people searching for your type of service and also including the name of the town you operate in, you have a much greater chance of coming up top, although less people will be searching for that phrase.
Search engine marketing is mainly about being proactive on the web and you can do a lot yourself (see our knowledge base), but for those of you who are strapped for time or really don't like computers, OffSight have been able to demonstrate measurable results, even for competitive search terms.
