What is the difference between Google Ads & SEO?
SEO requires an investment of time and money before you get results. It is a long-term strategy that involves setting up your website properly and optimising your content. With Google Ads, you only pay when people click on your ad. Both are important, but Google Ads is a much quicker way of bringing targeted traffic to your website.
