Search Marketing
Search Marketing is the process of acquiring traffic or customers via search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo and others.
Search marketing generally involves two disciplines: SEO (search engine optimization) and SEM (search engine marketing).
The former focuses on acquiring customers via visibility in natural/organic search results, and the latter focuses on acquiring customers by placing paid ads on search result pages.
