Search engine marketing is a practice website owners use to rank higher in search engine results pages by paying for advertising. SEO is free and based on organic search strategies, while SEM requires a cost and is paid for by advertisers.
The main difference is that SEM drives traffic through paid advertising, while SEO drives, monitors, and analyzes organic (unpaid) traffic. SEO is the best marketing strategy for long-term results. Websites can receive 24/7 free traffic and take full advantage of search engine optimization. SEM only works when you pay.

SEO refers to organic traffic, the one that you can get when someone searches some queries on Google and finds your site among the first results. On the other hand, SEM is related more to paid advertising, to campaigns on Google and social media which you pay and promote to reach a wider audience. We can't say that each one of these aspects is better, in fact, in the ideal case you should work simultaneously on both approaches, SEO is better long-term but it requires some time to show results, and SEM will provide you with faster conversions.

A SEM ad is a designation with an extension, it shows users targeted ads with immediate results, it's good for testing and not proving value over time, but the click-through rate is low.
SEO appears as organic results and has featured snippets, it's free, and visible to anyone, but the results are not good and take a lot of time to achieve. However, it does provide value over time and the click-through rate is quite high.

SEM is no knowledge, less money in you pocket
SEO is learning and acquiring knowledge as you go, you keep all the money

SEO targets increased traffic from organic search results whereas SEM aims to increase traffic and visibility from both organic and paid search.

If you have fund then you can go for SEM.. But if you need experience and fund shortage, then SEO is better. The summary is, any types of answers depends on your experience.

SEO is free and relies on organic search strategies, while SEM comes with a cost and relies on paid advertising. Additionally, SEO takes time to take effect, while SEM is instant.
