Digital Marketing Ke Prakar (Types of Digital Marketing)
1. SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
SEO ka matlab hai apni website ko Google par oopar laana — bina paise diye.
Kaise kaam karta hai: Jab koi “cake shop near me” ya “best CA Pune” Google par search karta hai, Google unhe sabse relevant websites dikhata hai. SEO ki madad se aap apni website ko in results mein top par la sakte hain.
Fayde:
- Ek baar rank hone par free traffic milti hai
- Long-term results milte hain
- Trusted result maana jaata hai (ad nahi)
Timeframe: 3–6 mahine lag sakte hain results dekhne mein
2. Google Ads (Pay-Per-Click)
Google Ads mein aap Google ko paise dete hain taaki aapki website search results mein top par dikhaye.
Kaise kaam karta hai: Jab koi “plumber near me” search kare, aapka ad top par dikhta hai. Aap tab hi paise dete hain jab koi ad par click kare.
Fayde:
- Turant results milte hain (same day traffic shuru)
