Search Engine Marketing (SEM) involves purchasing ads that appear on search engine
results pages (SERPs) to drive visibility and traffic to a brand’s website, distinct from
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) which focuses on improving organic search rankings
through content optimization and backlinking. SEM ads are typically Pay-Per-Click
(PPC), where brands pay for each ad click.

Brands buy SEM campaigns primarily through platforms like Google Ads or Bing Ads.
The process includes creating ad copy, selecting keywords, setting bids for each
keyword, and defining budgets. Advertisers can opt for various ad formats, including
text ads, shopping ads, and display ads that appear on partner websites.
Performance measurement in SEM is comprehensive. Brands track metrics such as
Click-Through Rate (CTR), Cost Per Click (CPC), conversion rate, and Return On Ad
Spend (ROAS). Tools like Google Analytics and the respective ad platforms’ analytics
functions allow advertisers to analyze effectiveness, monitor campaign costs, and adjust
strategies to maximize ROI.
