How Intrillion Can Benefit Your Business


True, you may find SEO will suffice on its own. In any case, the advantages of SEO over the other aspects of SEM make it clear that, even if you are going to spend additional money on advertising and paid placement, SEO must be your first step in promoting your site. However, no SEM campaign is ever complete without SEO

These two terms have often been used interchangeably. Sometimes, even the experts in the field commonly swap these two terms, which further adds to the confusion.

These two terms have different meanings.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is actually a component of search engine marketing – a function of SEM process. SEO is the most cost-effective function in a search engine marketing campaign. SEO is the act of optimizing a website for organic or natural search engine listings, yet still just one element of SEM.

Search engine marketing (SEM) is the process of marketing a website via Internet search engines; whether by improving rank in organic or natural listings, paid or sponsored listings or a combination thereof.

Yes, Intrillion do provide SEO services but a more comprehensive marketing campaign would be the SEM campaign as it includes:

  • Search engine optimization
  • Search engine and directory submission management
  • Link popularity / reputation development
  • Pay-for-placement management (includes pay-per-click)
  • Paid inclusion and trusted feed programs
  • ROI and performance monitoring and reporting

So now you know the difference between the two. The SEO services that we provide will surely boost your website rankings but it will also definitely take a period of time to achieve that.
