      wendell fleming's Review Sourced from Google

      I highly recommend Mountaintop Web Design; it was a pleasure working with Josiah and team! Our old website desperately needed a complete redo, and the Mountaintop team listened to our requests, implemented them in ways we hadn't thought of, and offered great design ideas. We had to delay the project for several months and they very kindly waited until we were ready to resume the work. They even accommodated our pie in the sky request to add an animation to the site. We love our new website and are getting great feedback on it. I would absolutely work with them again.

      Josiah, and his whole team over there at Mountaintop Web Design have been nothing but exceptional to work with. They have done everything we talked about in a professional and timely manner. They went above and beyond to make sure our website and our Google accounts were up and running. They took steps and actions that weren’t in the deal just to help us get up and running. HIGHLY recommend MTWD for whatever project you have in mind.

      It's such a relief to have a web developer I feel I can trust. Before we hired Mountaintop to build a us new site, they patiently helped us navigate the many issues with our old site. The new site works so much better, and better still--we know that we can count on their support when we need it.

      Dan and the Kern Media team so impressed me with their expertise that he was my first call when I changed jobs and needed to hire an SEO consultant. Our organic traffic continues to grow as we've followed the content and technical recommendations from the team. Dan is great at explaining complicated terms simply and extremely responsive. I highly recommend working with Kern Media.

      Mike W's Review Sourced from Google

      Working with Dan has been a pivotal part of our company. For the past 10 years, we've been selling furniture online and have achieved early success in ranking well on Google. However, our pages were not structured to rank effectively. After our traffic began steadily declining, we decided to engage with Kern Media to improve our ranking and hopefully bring more traffic to the site. Our organic traffic has since more than doubled in less than a year. As the holiday season approached, Dan had the idea to come out with a Black Friday page and created a content brief for us to follow. Within a week, the page was ranking 3rd on Google for "Black Friday cat trees," which helped lead to a record-breaking Black Friday Sale. Kern Media has been quick to respond to questions, always available to talk through issues, and has been a pleasure to work with.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SEO and SEM?

The main difference between these two marketing branches is how they acquire traffic: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) earns traffic organically, while Search Engine Marketing (SEM) buys traffic through paid ads. 

AspectSEOSEM
Traffic sourceOrganic (unpaid)Paid (ads on search engines)
Cost modelNo cost-per-clickPay-per-click (PPC)
Result speedSlow, builds over timeFast, immediate visibility
PlacementOrganic search resultsTop and bottom ad placements
StrategyContent, technical setup, backlinksBidding, ad copy, targeting
Long-term valueHigh, compounding over timeStops when the budget stops
ControlLimited control over rankingsFull control over spend and targeting

What platforms are used for search engine marketing?

Search engine marketing runs mainly on paid search platforms. Google Ads leads globally, with regional and niche platforms used based on audience and market. 

  • Google Ads is the largest platform and covers Google Search, YouTube, Gmail, and partner sites. 
  • Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads) reaches Bing, Yahoo, and AOL users. It often has lower CPCs. 
  • Amazon Ads shows search ads inside Amazon for product-driven campaigns. 
  • Apple Search Ads promotes apps within App Store search results. 
  • Baidu Ads is the primary platform in China. 
  • Yandex Ads is dominant in Russia and nearby markets. 

Can a search engine marketing company guarantee a #1 ranking?

No. An SEM agency cannot guarantee a #1 ranking. 

Search ads run on an auction, and ad rank depends on bid, ad quality, expected click-through rate, and landing page experience. Competitors change bids constantly, so positions shift in real time. 

Agencies control strategy, targeting, and optimization. They improve results, reduce costs, and increase conversions, but they do not control the auction or competitors, so no one can consistently promise the top spot. 

How much do SEM services cost?

Best SEM agencies typically charge between $100 and $300 per hour. Most businesses spend $500 to $5,000+ per month on SEM, while competitive industries can spend from $10,000 to $50,000+. Total cost combines ad spend and agency fees. 

  • Ad spend: You pay for each click, but some clicks cost a few dollars, while competitive keywords like legal or finance can go above $50 per click. Total spend depends on how many clicks you want and how competitive your market is. 
  • SEM companies’ monthly fees: 
    • $500 to $1,500 per month for basic setup and management 
    • $1,000 to $5,000 per month for full service and optimization 
    • $10,000 to $50,000+ for large-scale, multi-platform campaigns 

Search engine marketing agencies can also charge a percentage of ad spend, usually between 5% and 20%. 

As a general rule, many companies allocate around 10% to 12% of revenue to SEM and digital advertising. 

How long does it take to see SEM results?

SEM companies can deliver results for paid search within days, while SEO takes months to build traffic and rankings. 

Paid search can drive traffic almost immediately after launch. Early results appear within hours or days, but campaigns need a few weeks to stabilize. Most accounts become efficient within 2 to 8 weeks, and performance becomes stronger after 2 to 3 months

SEO works much more slowly. The first 1 to 3 months usually go into technical fixes, content creation, and indexing. Noticeable traffic growth often occurs between 3 and 6 months for less-competitive terms. Strong rankings and consistent traffic typically take 6 to 12 months or more, especially for new websites.
