Paid search also referred to as SEM or PPC is a marketing method where businesses pay to have their ads appear on search engines like Google and Bing.
Paid search utilizes a pay-per-click model, which means that the company pays only when someone clicks on the ad. The higher the bid, the relevance of the ad to the target keyword and the quality of the landing page are some of the elements that determine which company gets a higher ranking position on the paid portion of the search engine.
Paid search requires constant investments and can be expensive. However, PPC offers unique advantages that cannot be ignored:
Speed: Paid search ads can get the company in front of customers in a matter of minutes unlike organic search ranking that can take takes months.
Targeting: Search ads target specific search keywords, so anyone who clicks on and ad is probably highly interested because they searched for a keyword that triggered the ad
Budget control: You can determine the daily spend, set that fixed limit and forecast sales that you expect to get from your target keywords
Stat:
