Can you pay Google to rank higher? There is no way to pay Google to appear in organic search results. Paid campaigns, however, can show your ads above search results for your target keywords.
What is paid SEO? The focus of SEO is on organic search, but you can also use advertising services like Google Adwords to rank your ads higher than organic results. As long as you pay for the service, this is called SEA (search engine advertising). Once you stop paying for paid ads, your results won't appear on SERPs.
