Although search engine optimization (SEO) is a component of Search engine marketing (SEM), they are two different marketing mediums.

SEO is the process of optimizing your website so that the bots can easily crawl and index your website. Depending on the content of your website and the level of optimization, your site would be able to attain high rankings on SERP's. This would drive a surge of qualified traffic to your site and substantially increase your sales figure. SEM on the other hand is a method of marketing your website by leveraging the power of search engines. SEO is an integral aspect of SEM. Search engine marketing is done by enhancing the ranks of your website organically and with the help of paid as well as sponsored listings.

SEM is paid. You can say google ads or any kind of ads (paid) are known as SEM.

Hi.................

Difference between SEM and SEO....
SEM stands for "search engine marketing" and SEO stands for "search engine optimization."
SEM is the all-encompassing broad phrase that includes SEO as well as paid search activities such as Google Ad Words purchases.
SEO, on the other hand, is simply a subset of SEM.
Some people mistakenly think that SEM = PPC while SEO = organic. SEO does equal organic,
but as you can see by the definition above, SEM does not equal JUST paid search.

SEM - Search Engine Marketing (Broad)
SEO - Search Engine Optimization
SMO - Social Media Optimization
PPC - Pay-per-click campaigns (Adwords...)

Search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) are two such acronyms that are extremely important to a web presence.
SEO is one part of an overall SEM strategy.
SEO is to apples as SEM is to a fruit salad.
Apples are part of a fruit salad but a fruit salad is not part of apples.
