Vi Wickam joins the Niche Pursuits podcast to compare Google Ads and SEO, showing where each channel fits and how business owners can decide when to invest in one or both. He shares lessons for e-commerce and local service businesses, including why Google Ads may take 2 to 3 months to refine, why a 2x ROAS can still fall short, and how poor campaign setup can waste a serious budget.

The interview also covers Local Service Ads, high-intent keywords, and how paid search data can shape a stronger long-term SEO strategy. It's a clear conversation for anyone looking to drive more traffic, leads, and growth without wasting time or money.
