SEO may require a longer time to take effect and as AI and conversational language models become more commonplace it may start to be less clear which will be a clear win. Google Ads isn’t going to have so much variability as there is some level of predictability of results once baseline performances are established. Google Ads typically results in quicker results to getting new customers but it’s always good to have good team that is in-touch with the platform’s best practice.
For a quick win, and short term results, then Google Ads are king for intent-based keywords for your service and product offerings. A good at spot means you get featured top of search results as a sponsored result, before any of your ranked competitors. However, once the ads stop, you will inevitably lose visibility and maybe be only found on Google Maps.Consider the option to build a profitable business around paid ads. Building customer acquisition costing into your online out-reach cost model so you don’t get bogged down doing the work. Instead of a scattered approach to advertising, maintain your focused course on a long-term strategy.For example – your goal is $800k per year in revenues and 10% of that is what it costs to acquire a meaningful $720k – so you’re going to spend $6.7k on ads monthly from day one. It might cost more or less, but the faster you spend the quicker you’ll acquire data to figure out what works best. Adjust your budget based on what you able to comfortably afford. But be realistic and realize that right from the start, you advertising platform will need to build up good data to find prospective customers. Remember, even advertising requires patience and most Google Ads Certified experts will advise on leaving new campaigns on for 2 weeks before making changes to avoid disrupting campaigns.
SEO is a good long term strategy to make sure your business is more visible. It does take longer to see results, but if you can rank for several keywords, you will reach customers. In addition, you will also be seen for a longer period of time, if your SEO is done properly.There is a difficulty to get results for SEO for competitve keywords, but it is possible depends on how dedicated your plan of action and aggressively you are willing to pursue on-site and off-site content building. Good quality SEO strategies take time to implement properly. I also feel that more than one call is necessary to be able to properly address the needs of your company during the campaign, at the beginning, there will be more baseline comparisons that do require more time to sift through and optimize for a longer-term strategy.If your goal is growth, set up Google ads and Facebook ads if you have the budget for both. Google ads first. For SEO, local listings and directories are the go-to actions for starters. If you haven’t registered then do that, it can give a significant boost to your local space and online domain authority. Also sign up for as many directory listings as possible (there are thousands and you don’t need to pay for many of them) and I’d create a Wikipedia page about your business and source your websites about page. Doing that stuff along with basic site content, meta description, title tags etc should get your listing higher.

Most good agencies won’t give any outlandish predictions to secure a contract with a company because setting realistic expectations is important. But I’d always look out for agencies that show real strategic approaches and a strong methodological approach to your business goals. There are some agencies that may just be after a quick sale and often fail to follow through, simply because, they may not really care about long-term successes of the accounts.
Let’s put it another way, Google Ads campaigns and SEO are used by digital marketing experts to assist clients to get leads and sales.
