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,potentially the more traffic is directed to your site and the more chances of making a passive visitor an active consumer.

The most common paid search platform is Google AdWords. PPC refers to a digital marketing method wherein search engines charge a company each time their advertisement is clicked.

These social media takeovers drive the influencer’s following to your social media channels increasing your new followers and unique views.
Always make sure to do your research on an influencer before you decide to do business with them. You might want to verify their Google analytics and make sure their following proves legitimate and not full of fake accounts.
