"Look like" will always involve appearance. "Seem like" can involve one �s opinion. For example:
"She looks like her mother"
"He seems like an idiot" (so a similar meaning to "seems to be")
But you can also say: "He looks like an idiot" which means that his appearance is such that people will think he is an idiot. |

look like is used when you are more certain, you have physical evidence
seems like is less certain, based on feelings rqther than evidence
remember the structure is difference for look and seem without like.
He seems nice. (+adj)
He seems like a nice person. (+noun)
