Search engine optimization (SEO) is "optimizing" web site pages. SEM is utilizing various means of "marketing" a person's website in order for it to become more relevant in regard to search engine searches and their rankings. SEM can constitute PPC; which comprises pay per click (particularly beneficial for local providers as it enables potential consumers to get in touch directly to a company with one click), article submissions, advertising and making sure SEO has been done.
