the what:

what is SEM?

Search engine marketing is the process of placing text-based ads at or near the top of relevant search results on some of the world's most popular websites--search engines. Advertisers who run SEM campaigns place 'bids' on search terms that are relevant to both their audience and product or brand, ensuring that their message appears alongside or above unpaid (organic) SEO results. Platforms like Google and Bing typically reserve the top three to five results for paid search advertisements. Beyond the main search results page, SEM ads can also appear on secondary search pages like Google or Bing Maps, Shopping, and more.

the why:

why do you need SEM?

Search engines like Google have become the central college research tool for most prospective students and their families. SEM allows your school to prominently display your messaging on searches for your school or related topics like financial aid. Unlike organic search engine optimization (SEO), which can take months to implement, paid SEM starts to bring results immediately after the start of a new campaign, with ad placements near the top of the results page ensuring instant visibility. SEM can have an almost immediate impact on the enrollment funnel, driving prospective students who are actively searching for schools to your website.
