In a perfect world, you’d have a marketing budget for SEO and Google Ads, but unfortunately, that’s not the world most small business owners live in! We always recommend pursuing both SEO and Google Ads for businesses that can afford it, but there’s a certain point where a budget is so tight that it’s better spent on one or the other, rather than dividing it between both. If that’s the boat you find yourself in, this is the blog post for you.
