Yes, it’s even recommended. Google Ads acquires fast (days/weeks) while SEO builds a sustainable foundation (months/years). Together they reinforce each other: SEA generates traffic and data while SEO grows authority. After 6-12 months, SEO takes over and you reduce dependence on ad budgets. This is the holistic approach I recommend to maximize your growth.
Yes, on certain projects. Approach: editorial netlinking, no spam. Small contextual links from quality thematic articles, placed strategically to increase your domain authority. The effect is complementary to Google Ads: more authority = better organic rankings = lower CPC = better ROAS. It’s a long-term strategy that amplifies SEA impact.
Search: text ads on Google Search. Capture pure intent, people actively searching for your solution. The most predictable.
Performance Max (PMAX): automated mix of Search + Display + YouTube + Shopping. Google’s AI optimizes it on its own. Ideal for discovery and creative testing, but less controllable than Search.
Demand Gen: new in 2025-2026, focused on video and visuals (YouTube, Shorts, Discover). Generates discovery and brand awareness: better ROAS for awareness than for direct conversions.
My recommendation: combine all three. Search for pure conversions, PMAX for scalability and testing, Demand Gen for awareness and top-funnel.

Optimize conversions →This week, I launched a complete strategy for a real-estate player: Google Ads + editorial netlinking. The classic SEA approach is to scale ad spend to saturation. But for an industry like real estate, that’s not enough. Google Ads alone creates budget dependency: stop the ads, traffic stops. Hence the idea: pair Google Ads (Search + Performance Max) with strategic editorial netlinking to build organic authority in parallel.
On Google Ads, the strategy targeted three intent levels. Top of funnel (Search + PMAX): capture generic queries on the real-estate sector + target cities, with aggressive but disciplined budgets. Mid funnel: focus on comparison and expertise queries ("reliable real-estate agency", "rental investment in region X"). Bottom of funnel: direct conversions on specific ads. Performance Max handles discovery: videos, carousels, and text to test creatives before investing further.
In parallel, I set up editorial netlinking: small contextual links from related thematic articles (real-estate blogs, interior design, local sites). No spam, no mass link buying: just real linkbait content placed strategically. The effect isn’t immediate, but after 60 days the rise in authority (Trust Flow, Citation Flow) starts naturally lowering CPCs. More importantly, Google Ads + rising organic SEO produces a synergy effect: ads rank higher in SERPs, organic traffic grows, CPCs drop. Three months in, you have a combined engine that’s more profitable than an isolated paid strategy.
The real-estate case reminded me of one truth: Google Ads alone is never optimal. To make it sustainable, you need complementary levers:
