SEM or Search Engine Marketing is similar to SEO and it's main purpose is to enhance traffic, generate leads and ultimately lead to conversion of leads. SEO is long term and has the purpose of generating organic traffic and cultivating a strong brand presence online.

SEM is the paid version of SEO in that Ad Copies are created, targeted keywords bidded for and a budget allocated for the campaign. This will help bring short term traffic and can be really effective for businesses starting off and also existing businesses that already have a web presence for a longer period.

Hubspot, SEMrush and Google Trend/Ad are examples of SEM platforms that you can use to get started.
