1 good keyword is worth 1,000 ones. Well, you just need to find it. You’re planning to advertise on TV? Make sure you’re developing the right SEM strategy first.
Find the right balance in your SEM strategy
What is SEM? “Search Engine Marketing”, or SEM, combines your SEO (organic search results), your SEA (digital advertising) and SMO (social media). SEM efficiency is later linked to inbound leads, and even conversions. That’s why it’s crucial to select the precise keywords you want to use before going on TV. Like we said, the Internet is massively used by TV viewers who want to look up brand or product information after seeing a TV spot.
How do they do it? They look for your brand or related keywords that they might have heard during you TV spot. Those keywords should be well indexed on Google (where 93% of searches are made in the world), regardless if it’s organic or digital advertising (or even on social media). An efficient SEM approach would combine SEO and SEA; SEO, as a basis, with well-written articles that assert your expertise, and SEA, as a complement, with by purchasing the key words that would improve your ranking on Google.
