Email Marketing or SEO? Which is better? Actually, it makes more sense to use both, together. They actually can be used together very well. Let’s see how.
To start with, let’s get a basic understanding of what each is and the role they play.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the act of working to get your web site to show up better in searches. This will be accomplished through a number of techniques and strategies that range from free things you can do on your own to services you can pay to have done. Examples include how you title your articles, the content on your pages, how your images are labeled, how your blog or web site is structured, etc… SEO Mastery is an art form unto itself and should be taken very seriously.
The simplest way to explain Email Marketing is to say this is a method we use to generate leads, build rapport, and drive sales.
Both are very important and can bring results, but should you focus more on email marketing or SEO?
We believe your efforts should be spent on both. They can actually be used together for best results.
