Organic SEO vs. PPC

Organic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and PPC (Pay-per-click) advertising are both popular methods of online marketing, but they have different approaches and strategies.

Organic SEO refers to the practice of optimizing a website to improve its ranking in the organic search results of search engines like Google. The goal of organic SEO is to increase the quantity and quality of traffic to a website through non-paid search results. Organic SEO involves on-page optimization, including optimizing website content and structure, as well as off-page optimization, such as building backlinks to the website. Organic SEO is a long-term strategy that requires consistent effort and patience to see results, but it can be highly effective in improving a website’s visibility and driving targeted traffic to the site.

PPC advertising, on the other hand, involves paying to place ads on search engine results pages and other websites. With PPC, businesses bid on specific keywords or phrases, and their ads are displayed to users who search for those keywords or visit websites that are related to those keywords. With PPC, businesses pay for every click on their ads, and the cost per click can vary depending on the competition for the keyword. PPC advertising can be a quick and effective way to drive targeted traffic to a website, but it requires ongoing investment and can be expensive, especially for highly competitive keywords.

In summary, while both organic SEO and PPC advertising are important methods of online marketing, they have different approaches and strategies. Organic SEO is a long-term strategy that involves optimizing a website to improve its ranking in the organic search results, while PPC is a paid advertising model that can drive targeted traffic to a website quickly, but at a cost. Ultimately, the choice between organic SEO and PPC will depend on a business’s goals, budget, and marketing objectives.

I am an author and was searching for a company to create my book launch website, and I found Ferguson Computers. Kristi Wells at Ferguson has ‘done me right’ since day one. I imagine that it took her about a New York minute to figure out how non- tech savvy I was. There has never been one moment of judgement, and her patience is up there with Job. She has taken the time to set up videos for me to walk me through the construction of the website as well as, most recently, showing me how to view my site’s analytics.

Christine with Ferguson Computers is awesome! She was recommended to me a year ago and since then I have felt my website is secure and safe for my customers to use. Always alerts me if she sees anything suspicious behind the scenes. That's one less thing I have to worry about in my busy schedule.

Working with Ferguson Computers has definitely made it easy for me to be more successful at the law firm because I can focus on assisting my clients and the day-to-day operations that come up with a small business. I’m not a tech savvy person, and to be able to delegate the website is a huge weight off my shoulders so I can focus on generating revenue.
