What is Paid Search?
Paid Search refers to paid advertising on search engines such as Google and Bing. It involves businesses paying to have their ads displayed at the top of search results when users search for relevant keywords. In Denmark, it is particularly Google Ads that dominates within Paid Search, as Google holds a market share of over 90%. This makes Google Ads and its various ad formats — such as text ads and Google Shopping — the most popular choices when discussing Paid Search in Denmark.
Paid Search is also commonly referred to as SEM (Search Engine Marketing) or PPC (Pay-Per-Click), because you only pay when a user clicks on your ad. This makes it possible to target precisely those users who are searching for your products or services, making it an effective method for quickly generating traffic and leads.
What is the difference between Organic and Paid Search?
The key difference between Organic Search and Paid Search is that with Paid Search you pay for every click your ad receives, whereas organic traffic achieved through SEO (search engine optimisation) is free. Paid Search allows you to see results immediately, as your ads can appear at the top of search results as soon as your campaign goes live. Organic traffic, on the other hand, requires a long-term investment in content and technical optimisation, and it can take time before you see results.
It is often a good idea to combine both Paid Search and SEO as part of your digital strategy, as the two approaches complement each other well. With Paid Search you can gain immediate visibility and traffic, while SEO helps build long-term, cost-free traffic to your website.
