Besides this, addtwelve highlight 3 important benefits of SEM.Intent-based targeting approach

There is a simple difference between SEO and SEM. Search Engine Optimization remains an inalienable part of Search Engine Marketing. SEO is a process of optimizing your website for better rankings in the search results when SEM stays beyond that. It includes the components of paid search, display ads, including remarketing activity, and also SMM (social media marketing) in some cases.
How SEM works?
Search engines use intricate algorithms to guarantee the most relevant results are delivered for each search. It also considers location, device and other available information. When PPC is in use, the ads appear in the prominent locations - at the top of search engine results pages, to gain more visibility than the organic results. Such paid listings are often more relevant to a specific query, which makes it more likely to be clicked. However, they can be less trusted by the audience than the organic search results. That should explain why addtwelve Digital Marketing team is aimed to place a client's website in both results - paid and organic. When a website is listed several times on the same SERP the possibility of click tremendously grows.
