Although they\u2019re often used interchangeably, SEO is a subcategory of SEM, which uses both promotion (PPC) and optimization (SEO) to increase a website\u2019s ranking in the search engine results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With over a decade of SEM experience, we are a search engine marketing firm with a proven track record that we can increase your online visibility, search ranking and site traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do we do this?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since Single Grain got its start as a digital marketing agency, we\u2019ve been committed to staying ahead of the competition with constant research, ongoing training and fearless experimentation. Our SEM team \u2013 which includes the SEO team and the Paid Ads team \u2013 has the collective skills and knowledge needed to increase your visibility and traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlegrain.com\/about-us\/case-studies\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just ask our happy clients.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>OUR FOCUS:<b>\u00a0<em>Driving More Website Traffic<\/em><\/b><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our digital marketing agency has worked with some big brands \u2013 like Nextiva, Amazon, Intuit and Uber \u2013 and know how challenging it can be to find, nurture and convert qualified leads. Our team of experts will create customized, growth-focused online strategies for your brand using SEM best practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to drive more traffic to your website or e-commerce store, it\u2019s imperative that your site rank high in the SERPs when people search for your keywords. There are many methods to do this, most of which fall under the SEM umbrella.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SEO isn\u2019t just about the perfect keyword or getting tons of backlinks. The goal is to create high-quality content that delivers something of value to the reader, which in turn inspires them to move through your marketing funnel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PPC isn\u2019t just about getting clicks on your ads \u2013 it\u2019s about being found in all the right places on the Internet and getting those high-intent clicks that drive sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason SEM marketing is so successful is because it takes advantage of both paid and organic media. Paid ads will get you a place at the top of the SERPs for the short-term, and search engine optimization will allow you to rank high in the SERPs for the long-term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By focusing on your brand\u2019s unique value proposition, targeting vertical and market, then creating smart, tested and high-ROI SEM marketing strategies that work, our SEM agency experts will drive user acquisition costs down, while increasing your conversion rates.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"testimonial_item","name":"Jacqueline Foster","position":"Demand Generation Marketing, Lever.co","content":"<p>Single Grain has been key in helping us generate B2B engagement across digital channels.
