Coming to SEM, i.e. paid ads, they may generate revenue upto some extent but not large as when compared to results given by SEO+SMO.
Consider if you promote good quality content then it is called SMO stunt which gives you free publicity.
Then think about some one "Queries Google - for your respective business", then most of the people chose SERP of page #1 rather than other pages.
If you did not get into page#1 then you may lose many deals.
So, you must do SEO and then SMO to elevate your business standards.
Though SEO is unpredictable, but SMO is the great assisting source for SEO.

Answer
both are best and both are same but different

by seo we get high ranking on google and by sem we get branding or social presence on social media platform. so both are different but same as that factor like both are impact on your website user views. if your website is on top thats not mean your social presence are very good. many website don't need socially. and same as if you have more and more likes and follower that's not mean you will get rank high.

so both are different but yes if you have more likes and followers then you can most visits directly or on your domain keyword.

and for the seo you know now days it's too heard everyday we listen google update this google changed algorithm so our one move we never know what impact on our website. all seo is one blind game.
