The research emphasizes the importance of aligning SEM strategies with buyer intent, ensuring that ad content and landing pages are optimized for conversion. It also discusses the challenges of managing SEM budgets and competing for high-value keywords in a competitive market. By analyzing campaign performance data and consumer feedback, this study aims to provide actionable insights into the effectiveness of SEM for lead generation in the B2B sector.
