We didn’t start Enchantra because the world needed another marketing agency. We started it because too many small and medium businesses were being ignored, overcharged, or misled by agencies chasing retainers instead of results.

At Enchantra, this is personal.

What is Local SEO?

Local SEO vs Paid Ads: What Works Better for Small Businesses?

Both have merit—but here’s how they compare side-by-side:
Feature Local SEO Paid Ads
Cost Low ongoing cost (after setup) High ongoing cost (pay per click)
Longevity Long-term visibility Only visible when ads are running
Trust Factor Higher trust (organic placement) Often skipped as “ads”
Lead Quality High—people actively searching Varies depending on targeting
Control Less control over immediate ranking Full control over targeting and timing
Speed Takes time to build up Immediate traffic
ROI High over time Short-term gains, can get expensive
Best Strategy: For small businesses, combining both often works best: Use Paid Ads for immediate results and seasonal promotions, and invest in Local SEO for long-term organic leads that cost nothing per click.
