In general, SEO is somewhat more of a creative approach to marketing. Because SEO will, more often than not, involve optimizing an entire site, it’s a practice that often requires those employing it to produce content such as blog posts or copy for the page, necessitating a degree of originality to make the site stand out from others.
And, because it’s a process that takes time and effort over a longer period, the results gained from SEO are spread out over a longer period and are more lasting. If an SEO budget is suddenly cut, for instance, the benefits of which are very unlikely to go away immediately. However, it comes with the caveat that those same benefits aren’t likely to be seen as immediately either.In contrast, PPC results are something that will have an immediate and direct impact on your company’s bottom line. Although it requires more risk and a certain degree of intuition when deciding how to allocate the budget they’re given, the fact that results are far more evident is something that obviously holds appeal to both clients and employers.
Likewise, because PPC is a much more concentrated practice, those who practice it are usually able to more fully dedicate their time and resources to it, as opposed to possibly spreading themselves thin as can occur with SEO work. PPC marketing is something that, when given complete attention, is a task that can seen to the end relatively more easily.
Ideally, of course, it’s best to use a delicate balance of the two. The team you have working on either should consist of a mix of people who are adept in social media, analytics, link building, analytics, and of course, have some technical skill to ensure that they’re able to successfully accomplish whatever it is they’re tasked with.
