PPC aka Pay-Per-Click is designed to drive website users to your site that is paid for. If for example you have seen on Google search something that says ‘ad’ next to it – if you click it, that is a PPC advertisement.

SEO takes time and patience. Its not a quick overnight success. Anyone that tells you that you can expect to see results within a short period of time is lying to you. Results from SEO can take months and the amount of efforts invested can also have an effect on expectations.
