Differences between SEA and SEO
SEA measures provide very short-term results, plus you can act very flexible in terms of content
and budget constraints.
SEO measures, however, can require higher startup costs and can demand heavy structural on-site changes.
Sometimes it takes up to six months for their effects to show up.
Now which path is the best one for your business?
The answer is depending on several factors, such as marketing objectives, resources, positioning of
the competitors, time pressure, budget constraints, etc.
Note: In German speaking countries the term SEM is often incorrectly used as a synonym for search engine
advertising (SEA/ keyword advertising). Correctly, however, this is the generic term for SEA and SEO.
