Issue #173: The Real Relationship Between SEO and Google Ads

IPPC-The-Blink-logo
Ever wonder if running Google Ads helps your SEO? Or if SEO lifts your ad results?
Let’s clear this up.
Short answer: Ads don’t directly help your SEO ranking, but they absolutely support it.
Here’s how it works in the real world:
Someone sees your ad. They’re curious. So they Google your business name.
Now, what shows up?
If your organic rankings are strong and you’ve got a great-looking website that loads fast and builds trust, you look like a pro. That credibility boosts conversions.
And if you’re ranking in the top 3 of Google Maps? Jackpot. That searcher doesn’t just see your business; they trust it.
Now flip it.
Good SEO helps your ads too. Why? Because a polished, SEO-optimized site converts better. Your ad dollars go further when your site does the heavy lifting.
And ads? Well, they show up above organic listings. Even if SEO hasn’t kicked in yet, ads make sure your business still gets found fast.
At the end of the day, the goal is to be found when someone needs you.
That’s what both Google Ads and SEO do best, especially when they work together.
Want help dialing in both? That’s what we do.
