Should I choose SEO over PPC, or PPC over SEO?

SEO and PPC have their own advantages and features. In our experience, use of both of these in synergy works very well for any business which wants to generate traffic through search engines.

Our PPC experts will be able to guide you in this decision once they analyze your company, the competition, and what type of keywords you will need to promote your site.

How does PPC differ from Organic/Natural SEO?

Does running a PPC account help with my natural listings in Google?

No, running a PPC account does not affect organic rankings. However, running a PPC campaign can provide valuable insight into the keywords you should be targeting in the SEO campaign. It also supports the SEO campaign in the time it takes to get to the first page of the search engines and gives your website more real estate once the natural listing is achieved. In addition, it has the added benefit of having your pages on your site crawled more quickly if you have advertisements pointing to all the relevant pages.
