According to a survey, Online Searches are the greatest ever crowd-puller to ecommerce sites with increased visits and sales of around 31 per cent. What follows next are emails, which contribute to 3 per cent growth in page visits and Social Media accounted for only 2 per cent of the directed online traffic.
Hence shifting focus entirely too social media marketing from search engine marketing would not prove beneficial in the long run.
Moreover, the fact remains the same that paid ads, SEO and social media campaigns all possess their individual qualities and importance. Therefore, choosing one over the other should completely be disregarded.
Therefore, consider following all of these steps to strike a perfect balance between your SEM and SMO needs. By now, it is time to quit watching those increments in likes and comments and chalk out concrete business plans.
