Organic search engine listings are the main results users see when they do a Google search. The websites appearing in the organic listings appear because those sites are most relevant to the user's keywords. Indeed, most of these sites appear in the top of the search engine results because the webmasters of these sites have used SEO tactics to ensure top rankings.

The paid (or "sponsored") listings usually appear on the top, bottom and to the right of the regular organic listings. Usually these are pay per click (PPC) ads, which means the website owner only pays when someone clicks on his ad (as opposed to paying for impressions).

This isn't an either/or game. Just because you do SEO doesn't mean you can't/shouldn't use PPC and vice versa.

SEO is not free traffic, it takes time and/or money to get good organic rankings but in the long run it's usually cheaper than PPC.

Paid listings known as PPC.
PPC (Pay Per Click) is a way to get your ads displayed at the top of search engine queries quickly. With PPC advertising, you can control when and where your ads appear as well as the maximum cost you're willing to spend for each click.

Organic search listings known as SEO.
SEO is the best way to promote the website and generate huge traffic is complete On-page and Off-page SEO; it takes a long time but did not spend much money.
Please see below:


Organic Search Results and Paid listings have their own advantages. If you are looking for a short term or a seasonal listings, paid listings are one of the easiest and fastest way to get in to search results, Organic search listings are long term and will take time to get into search results depending on how much you follow the guidelines and dedicate the time to optimize the site.

PPC is costly so SEO is best.

When a search engine returns its search results, it gives you two types: organic and paid. Organic search results are the Web page listings that most closely match the user's search query based on relevance. Also called "natural" search results, ranking high in the organic results is what SEO is all about.

Paid results are basically advertisements — the Web site owners have paid to have their Web pages display for certain keywords, so these listings show up when someone runs a search query containing those keywords.

Paid search is where advertisers pay for top placements in search results, while organic search relies on content and SEO to rank naturally. Paid gets immediate visibility but costs per click, while organic is free but takes time to rank.

Paid and organic search listings are two distinct types of search engine results that appear when users conduct online searches. Here's a breakdown of the key differences between them:

Positioning
Cost
Traffic Source
Labeling
Control
Long-Term vs. Short-Term
Cost-Per-Click (CPC) vs. No Cost

Paid search listings are advertisements that appear at the top or bottom of search results, require a budget, and offer immediate control and results. Organic search listings are natural results based on SEO efforts, free of direct click costs, and provide long-term, sustainable traffic. Both types of listings have their roles in a comprehensive online marketing strategy, depending on your goals and budget.

Paid search listings are advertisements that appear at the top and bottom of search engine results pages, and advertisers pay for each click. Organic search listings are natural, unpaid results generated by search algorithms and appear below paid listings. Paid listings offer quick visibility but cost money, while organic listings are free but require SEO efforts and time to rank well.

Paid search is a method where advertisers pay to serve the ads, whereas organic search, you don't pay. That's obviously the main difference between organic and paid search in the pricing model and how it will affect you, the advertiser, or you, your client, and your budget and different things like that.
