SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing your website and online presence to earn higher rankings in organic search results, while Google Ads (PPC/Pay-Per-Click) is a paid advertising model where you pay for your business to appear in sponsored ad placements at the top of search results. For Vancouver BC businesses, SEO typically offers better long-term return on investment because once you earn strong rankings, traffic continues without ongoing per-click costs.
