Which is more important: SEO or SEM?​

SEO is all the effort you will make to be visible in an organic way on search engines. Like SEO, SEM also allows you to be visible on the same search engines but via advertising.

In both cases, it is about attracting traffic to your website. SEO is a longer term work than the SEM. The latter will allow you to generate results much faster. However, SEM is dependent on your media investment. As soon as you stop investing, your traffic will stop. SEO is, in fact, built for the long term, depending on the quality and consistency of your work.

However, one does not prevent the other. Results and key learnings from SEO can be used to improve the performance of SEM—and vice versa. Everything will depend on your time, short- and long-term goals and, of course, your budget.

Is SEO an important piece of a marketing strategy?​

When you take a close look at online user behaviour, you will quickly come to the conclusion that the vast majority of website traffic comes from organic searches.

When visitors have a need, they generally turn to a search engine in search of answers. With the right knowledge of your prospects’ intentions and the right SEO/SEM best practices, your website can better answer potential customers’ needs.

What is Local SEO?​

Local Search Engine Optimization (SEO) refers to the techniques or elements of natural referencing (SEO) specifically designed to favorably position a site in Google’s result pages responding to a local query.

How do I optimize SEO for Youtube videos?​

There are many ways to use YouTube to optimize your SEO, here are some ideas:

• Length of the video: As with text-based articles, longer videos are likely to rank higher. Ideally, you should post a video that is at least 5 minutes long. It is also recommended to segment the videos into several videos in order to increase potential visibility of the videos.
• Optimize the title and description of the video: the more informative and richer they are, the more “confident” YouTube will be to classify your video according to your target keyword.
• Implement thumbnails: in a very basic way, by implementing an optimized thumbnail, you increase the CTR (click through rate) and thus the positioning of the videos on Youtube search pages.
• Video distribution: by distributing the videos, this has an impact on the “views”, a considerable optimization factor.
