		<description>Hi Sue!  Great question!  Readers - Sue is referring to this point 
in this article http://www.businessmanagementdaily.com/articles/18546/1/Give-your-brand-a-boost/Page1.html#

Pay to be Googled. Search engine marketing (SEM) is the most popular pay-for-performance channel available to growing businesses looking to boost their brand awareness online, says Dan Vassallo, director of engagement at the New York–based digital marketing agency Greater Than One. “Getting qualified leads is the big payoff with this strategy,” he says. “The boost to brand awareness is added sauce.”

Vassalo suggests you can pay professionals to employ search engine marketing strategy (which is likely a mix of natural search optimization, paid search, social media for search and online content generation) specific to your organization.

At WMT, we call it multi-tasking marketing (content boosts credibility, natural search, PR opportunities, etc)  

You don&#039;t necessarily have to pay to play...you can self-educate (read our blog, attend our webinars - see the shop therapy page) but some folks prefer to pay to get on the fast track!  

Keep commenting!
