MKT-635 focuses on differentiating between search engine marketing (SEM) and search engine optimization (SEO), analyzing the benefits and limitations of each strategy, and how marketers can use these tools to effectively reach customers — employing SEO tactics to develop marketing initiatives and recommending SEM strategies to optimize campaign efforts.
Benefits and limitations of SEO versus SEM
The course requires a genuinely critical analysis of each approach's real benefits and limitations, rather than treating either SEO or SEM as a universally superior choice.
From analysis to strategic recommendation
MKT-635 has students develop actual SEO tactics for marketing initiatives and recommend SEM strategies to optimize campaign efforts, moving from analytical understanding into genuine strategic recommendation.

Frequently asked questions
MKT-315 introduces the foundational distinction between organic SEO and paid SEM traffic along with basic web analytics tools, while MKT-635 goes further into critically analyzing the benefits and limitations of each approach and producing genuine strategic recommendations — developing SEO tactics for specific marketing initiatives and recommending SEM strategies to optimize actual campaign efforts. The graduate course assumes the foundational SEO/SEM distinction and pushes into applied strategic judgment.
A marketer who only understands each approach's benefits risks recommending SEO for a time-sensitive campaign it's poorly suited for, or over-relying on SEM for long-term visibility it can't sustainably provide once budget runs out, so understanding genuine limitations is what prevents mismatching the wrong strategy to a given business situation. MKT-635 requires this balanced view because sound strategic recommendation depends on knowing where each approach falls short, not just where it excels.
