UNSPSC 80141633: Search engine marketing

SEM (search engine marketing): Internet marketing to achieve a higher ranking in search engine results to enhance pay-per-click listing. It is a digital marketing strategy used to increase the visibility of a website on search engine results pages.

UNSPSC 80141633 Search engine marketing is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not appear to be buying search engine marketing services under this code based on recent posted opportunities. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code—including park irrigation system installation, truck wraps for school buses, community market management, energy savings performance contracts, and recycling program sponsorships—bear no relationship to search engine marketing or digital marketing optimization. The code sees no relevant recent activity in the state and local procurement record.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that either the opportunities have been miscoded in the source system or the code is not actively used by state and local issuing bodies. Business development professionals evaluating this code should assume limited or no current market opportunity unless direct outreach to state and local procurement offices confirms active demand for search engine marketing services under alternative codes or uncoded spot buys.
