Is SEO easier than PPC?
Is SEO easier than PPC?
No, SEO is not easier than PPC. In fact, both have their complexities. Choosing SEO or PPC depends on the type of business niche, competition, budget availability, skills, and marketing experience.
“SEO is a complicated channel. Unlike PPC where you can have a clear action to ROI path and conversions are well attributed, in SEO, we sometimes need to dig deeper to show the real value the channel is bringing” – Search Engine Land
If your business is new to PPC and SEO, I suggest starting with both at the same time to get the best results.
In PPC, you can expect to see a good return on investment (ROI), but the ad budget will be expensive. With time, the cost of your campaigns will lower since you will have enough data to optimize future results.
On the other end, SEO can generate a higher ROI, than PPC, as efforts and outcomes get compounded over time, but it requires patience and consistent effort.
Ultimately, it all comes down to the business's needs and goals, timely.
Remember, SEO is a more reliable and cost-effective long-term investment for businesses that are looking for more traffic and brand visibility. PPC can be a great short-term investment for businesses with limited traffic, but it is not as reliable as SEO over the long term.
In other words, SEO is an ongoing process, whereas PPC is a one-time setup. While SEO outcomes will substantially improve over time, PPC will only get better once you've set it up with a good budget only.
“It's also worth noting that PPC campaigns can provide valuable data and insights into different keywords, copy and audience behaviour. This information can inform your SEO strategy, helping you optimise your website and content for the keywords performing well in PPC campaigns” – SEOTesting
