3. What is the difference between SEO and SEA?

While SEO helps you increase your rankings in organic results, SEA enables you to get your website to the top of paid results thanks to targeted advertisements. You can easily spot paid results thanks to the “Ad” tag below the title.

SEO and SEA both have their advantages. SEA campaigns are a good way to get a high profile for a new product in a short period of time and SEO helps you build a long-term strategy to stay visible without having to pay for ads long-term.
