How many adds came through organic SEO? If you have multiple versions of your product, how many are web vs. mobile? For example, if you have developers, content people or SEO folks working on SEO programs you’ll need to allocate their time / costs to this effort. SEO is seldom “free.”. How many through SEM?

SEO is not placing ads, but tuning your website so that it is more highly ranked by Google, and featured in the first page of results, not in an ad beside the results. SEM is sometimes called “buying your way into search results.” Keyword research and budget forecasting.
