How can I promote my business using search engine marketing?

SEM is great if you can find the right keywords that can rank you high with a low pay per click. However, with SEM once that money is spent for that click, its gone. With every dollar you spend into SEO your money is going towards long-term lead generation. The reason I say this is because once you get high in Google for relevant keywords, people are going to keep clicking on your site and you are no longer putting money into getting your site to that position. SEO Services can cost a flat rate, or ranging from $25-$150/hr. The average is around $75/hr. SEM Services can cost a percentage of what you are putting into the budget or a flat rate.
