What is Online Marketing and Search Engine Marketing (SEM)?
As the title suggests it is about marketing your business on
the Internet and via the search engines such as Google.
One element of this process is Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
but there is much more to it than that. There are many processed
required to help a website rank highly and to generate relevant
traffic.
Online Marketing also encompasses practices such as online
press releases, article writing, link building, portal advertising,
Pay Per Click Ad campaigns and a whole host of other activities.
The idea is to gain maximum exposure on the Internet for our
clients in order to generate more leads and thus more sales.
The changing face of the Internet
As the Internet continues to grow and transform so does the
way we conduct online marketing campaigns. For example you might
have noticed that there are more videos appearing in search
results or images appearing too, even news items sometimes appear
within the front page of results.
This means that we adapt our online marketing to ensure maximum
exposure. We use "Social Media" as well as the more
classic methods to ensure our clients have the best opportunity
of being found by a searcher looking for their "product".

What is the advantage of online marketing as opposed
to magazines and local press
Whilst these methods of advertising can still be very effective
they come with a number of limitations.
If it is a monthly publication then the shelf life is likely
to be 2 weeks maximum plus the fact that if you have to promote
something quickly you can't. You have to wait until the next
publication.
Then once your advert run is complete that is it. No more exposure.
With the Internet search results don't get archived through
age. You don't have a shelf life - if a search is still relevant
in 3 years time and the SEO has been done professionally you
will still be found in the Search Engines, so that one search
could still generate revenue for you years down the line.
