When it comes to search engine optimization (SEO), knowing what your audience is searching for online is critical to your success. Keyword research and analysis, including understanding what keywords you’re using and ranking for, help support an effective SEO strategy.
In this post, we’ll break down renting vs. owning keywords by exploring the two types of search marketing, how to integrate them into your strategy, and how to achieve success.
Understanding Search Marketing: Paid vs. Organic
There are two types of search marketing:
- Paid search marketing uses paid methods such as advertising to target, reach, engage, and convert audiences rapidly
- Organic search marketing focuses on driving traffic to your site over time using landing pages, blogs, and social media
Integrating Paid and Organic Search Strategies
The most successful strategies balance paid and organic search marketing efforts. Here’s how:
- Keyword synergy: The keywords you bid on in paid search campaigns should also feature in your organic content. With organic search marketing, the goal is to incorporate the keywords for your industry into your content marketing in an SEO-friendly manner. Then, your paid strategy further amplifies these keywords to your target audience.
- Content and ranking gaps: If you’re paying to rank for a keyword but don’t have corresponding organic content, you’re missing out on a significant opportunity. Bridging this gap ensures that you’re maximizing your investment in both arenas regarding renting vs. owning keywords.
