Understand the real problem
Organic search and paid promotion solve different discovery problems. They can complement one another, but they have different costs and time horizons.
What to consider
Organic visibility depends on useful content and search performance over time. Paid campaigns can create immediate placements while a budget is active, but they still require conversion-focused pages.
Practical next steps
Evaluate both against qualified inquiries and customer value rather than visits alone. Make media spend and agency management fees separate in reporting.
