SEO and SMO both are the part of SEM (Search Engine Marketing).
Now SEO is an organic method to increase visitors to your website. This method includes on-page, off-page optimization and PPC (Pay Per Click)

Hi everyone,
            SEO is an ongoing activity that needs to be continuously performed to make sure you are on the top. In short SEO is a permanent fix to your search engine traffic.
            SMO is all about huge traffic spikes in short time, it does not require and wait time for the search engine bots to index your page. It directly fires your messages to the potential visitors.

SEO increases the visibility in the search engine.SEM increase the visitors that is traffic is increased.No SEM operation is complete without SEO. Since the purpose of SEO is to make the site better for both search engines and users, it will not be sufficient. You need to promote the site using SEM.So,SEO must be your first step in promoting your site.

Seo is search engine optimization and smo is stands for social media marketing both are good methods to get better ranking in search engine results.in social media marketing we used to promote our website on social networking sites.seo is an organic method we do offpage and onpage methods to improve website visibility on search engine results.

 SMO can drive traffic to a site fast but not all traffic is equal. SEO is marketing your site to get listed well for search results. Best part about this is when someone searches for the terms you market for they usualy want to buy something.

- SEO is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's "natural" or un-paid search results.
- SMO refers to the use of a number of social media outlets and communities to generate publicity to increase the awareness of a product, brand or event. Types of social media involved include RSS feeds, social news and bookmarking sites, as well as social networking sites, such as Twitter, and video and blogging sites. SMO is similar to search engine optimization in that the goal is to generate traffic and awareness for a website. In general, social media optimization refers to optimizing a website and its content in terms of sharing across social media and networking sites.

Social Media optimisation could be a fairly new conception and still somewhat imprecise, that means various things for various individuals. it had been 1st outlined back within the mid-2000s, however has been re-phrased since. it had been originally terribly link-building targeted, however the recent re-phrasing has touched the that means a lot of towards content and sharing. Wikipedia includes a nice article regarding social media optimisation, however to my mind it's not covering all sides of the conception, thus here's somewhat one thing for you.

SEO drives targeted traffic, increase SERP ranking of the site and give good ROI to the business.
SMO drives traffic and increase popularity of the site, product & services.
