projects the subject directly to the internet users through the electronic
devices and computers. Digital Marketing is also called as Online
Marketing, Internet Marketing or web marketing.

their products and services but also offers online customer support through 24x7

both positive and negative feedback from their customers as well as determine

8. Search Engine Optimization
SEO refers to the process of growing your online visibility in non-paid
(organic) search engine results. SERPs or search engine results pages appear to
users after they search for a given set of keywords using a search engine like
Google or Bing. Each user receives an individualized results page based on
keywords, the user’s location at the time of searching, and their browsing
history. Organic search results appear in a list and are ranked using the search
engine’s algorithm. As users change the way they search and engage with
online content, these algorithms change. The higher you rank on a SERP, the
more traffic is directed to your site and the more chances of making a passive
visitor an active customer.
For Example, if an user type a phrase as ‘Best Hotel in Bangalore’, google
shows us the most relevant and high ranked pages to the users where a direct
marketing of the project happens and user visits the page to view the products
to gather the information they are looking for. As you can see Google is
suggesting (showing) The Pride Hotel Bangalore’s website as the most relevant
page to the searched keywords since the Hotel’s website has the highest page
rank in this context.

website traffic by purchasing ads on search engines. With

appears on a user’s SERP. The most common paid search
platform is Google AdWords. Next, is Bing Ads
For Example – When an user searches “Android Phone”,
Google shows up the list of Android Phones hosted in
Amazon.com for sell.
