We recommend both PPC and SEO. SEO is a long game that ensures your website remains relevant and gains authority over time. PPC is like adding fuel to the fire. Both SEO and Google AdWords are search engine marketing strategies to generate more traffic and leads. A well-optimized AdWords campaign can work much faster for your website to get the most coveted first spot on the search results page.
You can focus on multiple keywords at a time. You can turn the campaign on or off whenever you want to. Ads that appear at the top of the page get immediate visibility. Of course, this doesn’t mean that you should ignore organic sources such as SEO, as they have more long-term benefits. But with AdWords, there is a better chance of driving more traffic and leads instantly. Additionally, the platform is more transparent, and you know exactly what is happening with the ads.
Adwords allows you to target users who are interested in your products or services by using specific keywords. You can also target people who have already visited your website but haven’t yet taken any action. PPC also allows you to easily measure performance to make necessary adjustments on working and what isn’t.
