SEO is the process of improving the quality and quantity of website traffic from search engines. It targets unpaid organic traffic only. While there may be expenses for online businesses using a Venue SEO Agency, it costs nothing to rank your online store organically in the search engine results, your only investment needs to be time and the understanding of Wedding Venue SEO techniques.

SEO is very cost-effective, but it is a slower process that requires continual maintenance.

PPC (Pay Per Click) covers a wide variety of paid advertising opportunities which SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) cannot cover. Broadly speaking, there is no direct comparison.

However, a Paid Search is a similar strategy to SEO. In a Paid Search campaign, the advertiser is bidding and paying for clicks on ads at the top of the search results. With SEO, pages are ranked in the organic listings.

PPC campaigns also include Facebook Ads, YouTube Ads and Google Display Ads, amongst others, none of which compete with an SEO strategy directly.

In summary, the most successful eCommerce Marketing strategies;

1. Use a combination of PPC campaigns for top-of-funnel audience reach and engagement, along with a Content / SEO strategy. 
2. Use a combination of Paid Search Campaigns, Google Shopping and SEO to get rank category and  pages, attracting clicks and visitors when they’re more likely to buy.
