Natural or Organic Placement (Search Engine Positioning)

Through Search Engine Positioning a site is ranked through Natural Results (also known as Organic Positioning) in the Search Engines, or through the results generated by the Search Engine database based on specific queries made by users through the use of keywords.

Through the use of web analysis software, the performance of accesses to the site is monitored.
Web SEO engineers have a deep knowledge of the criteria through which Search Engines acquire and index web pages in their databases and these technicians work exclusively according to the guidelines established by the same Search Engines.
Natural Positioning (or Organic Positioning) is particularly suited to achieve online visibility in the long run.

Keyword Advertising (Pay-Per-Click)

Through Keyword Advertising, a website appears in the sponsored results section of the Search Engines, that is, among results obtained by payment. The destination of a budget for the definition of a particular list of keywords is what is expected by this type of advertisement. Moreover, this type of online advertisement also demands the creation of relevant listings. The positioning of a website in the sponsored results section depends on the degree of competitiveness of the keyword that is purchased and also the amount other advertisers are willing to pay for those same keywords. The advertiser pays only for clicks received per ad.
Keyword Advertising gives the opportunity for an ad to be visible and appear in the top results for highly competitive keywords as soon as the campaign begins.
This type of online advertisement can also be geographically targeted in order to generate visibility in targeted countries or regions. Also, Keyword Advertising can be used as a support of a Search Engine Positioning campaign and is particularly suited to gain visibility in a specific period of time, which coincides with an important moment in the timetable of a company, such as the launch of a product or the participation in a trade show.
