SEM (Search Engine Marketing) is the practice of promoting websites through paid advertising on search engine results pages, most commonly via platforms like Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising. Marketers bid on keywords so their ads appear when users search relevant terms, paying typically on a cost-per-click basis. It is widely used by digital marketers and businesses to drive targeted traffic and complements organic SEO efforts.
