SEO and paid search: where should you start?

The right starting point depends on your offer, your website and the kind of demand you want to reach. Think about the role of each channel before choosing a budget.

Start with demand and the customer journey

Consider how customers currently find a business like yours. Do they search for an urgent service, compare several options or discover products through recommendations? The answer shapes both your content and advertising approach.

Give each channel a clear job

Search content can explain your expertise and help people evaluate an offer. Paid search can put a relevant message in front of selected search demand. Neither channel removes the need for a clear, trustworthy destination page.

Check the destination first

Before adding traffic, review your landing pages. Visitors should understand the service, find relevant evidence and know how to enquire. Slow pages, unclear offers and difficult forms can waste attention from any source.

Measure enquiries with context

Agree what a useful lead means. Review enquiry quality alongside traffic and cost, and distinguish advertising spend from management and production costs. Attribution has limits, so avoid drawing broad conclusions from a single number.

Choose a starting scope you can learn from

A focused set of services, locations or offers is easier to evaluate than trying everything at once. Document assumptions and review them after enough relevant activity has been collected.

YOUR NEXT STEP

Choose channels around customer intent and a clear offer. Start with a website that makes the next step easy.
