  • IMO, it depends on your budget, assuming your budget is approx. $100-200 then you should opt for SEO campaign because it will give you more than better results in the long run. However, same could be said about Search Engine Marketing (Pay-Per-Click) campaign but one thing to note is that the campaign has to target specific demographic for it to work, more often than not the results are not as expected or desired.

    For a new business, investing in PPC initially is better imo as it brings business faster and lets you test your hypothesis, operations etc. earlier. In the long run, surely SEO is better as it gives better ROI.

    It all really depends. A well run PPC campaign can bring fantastic results, much quicker than SEO. However It can be much more expensive. SEO takes more time, however in the long term it can be more fruitful and much less expensive.

    Both are effective as per the strategy & the targeted area & the group of people you are targeting. SEO is the finest online marketing technique that helps to gain the top position in Google search engine but not quickly. It takes little time to get the response of it. Whereas PPC is the Search engine marketing technique that helps to generate traffic from search engines by getting clicks on the Ads of your website running at the top of search engines.

    You have to decide your budget then you can start any one of it.

    I think you are lying. The only budget you have is for starting a bunch of useless threads on the forum.
