Getting the most out of your marketing: The interplay between organic and paid Google search

Google holds a staggering 92.47% of the search engine market share, so every business wants to appear in Google’s search engine results pages (SERPs) as much as possible. Small- to medium-sized businesses need a well-designed strategy if they hope to carve out a niche to compete against larger corporations. Pursuing SEO and PPC will maximize visibility in search results, which can help make that playing field a little more even.
