SEO is search engine optimization where can get website traffic and make website top page rank by organic meaning for free and its long-term process to get the result. But SEM is search engine marketing by using paid tool-making site to get traffic and rank and its instant results depend on the budget you will get leads.

SEO is also a facet of SEM.

The main difference between SEO and SEM is that search engine optimization is simply a component of search engine marketing. SEM includes terms of paid search, such as PPC and also SMM

Hello,
Shortly or simply there is the main difference between SEO and SEM :
SEO, or search engine optimization, is the part of search marketing that uses ORGANIC tactics to gain visibility in SERPs. With SEO, brands don’t pay for placement on SERPs. Instead, they use a variety of tactics that prompt search engines to show their content near the top of SERPs because the result is valuable and authoritative.

SEM, or search engine marketing, is often considered the part of search marketing that uses PAID tactics to gain visibility in SERPs. A paid SEM strategy includes both the activities involved with setting up and optimizing ads as well as setting a budget that pays for the placement of ads.

SEO's main aim is to optimize a website in order to get traffic from organic search results.
SEM's main aim is to get traffic and visibility from both organic and paid results.
