How to Optimize Your Social Media Channels For Search Results

We have discussed some of the importance of taking advantage of social media to enhance your SEO effort. We will now look into the tips on how to maximize your social media presence for search engines.

1. Choose a Befitting social media platform for your business.

    Do not just sign up on any social media network that is available online. Before you choose a platform, make little research on how it will help promote your brand.

    While, for instance, the Facebook page might be okay for some brands, some other brands might need Facebook, Twitter, Linkedln, and Instagram for better exposure.

    So in essence, choose a social media platform that will help you reach your target audience. You should also consider the capacity of your company to manage and keep your social media accounts active.

    2. Post useful and engaging content regularly

        Regular sharing of valuable and engaging content on your social media handles helps to boost and keep your account active. Quality over quantity should be your watchword as it makes your content reliable.

        3. Your contact information should be consistent in all your social media profiles

          Your contact information should always be updated to the latest and should be consistent in all your profiles. You do not want a situation where customers are misled by the contact information on your profiles due to inconsistency or outdated addresses.

          I noticed that when my Pinterest account gets a lot of visitors, my website does also. My stuff is visual so this social network works better than others.

          Oh yes, Chris! That's how it happens. As you grow your social media traffic, your blog traffic also grows proportionately. In as much as your website is connected to your social media profile, the traffic flows accordingly.

          Hey Mark, thanks for your beautiful comment! Google looks into social signal as a factor that indirectly impacts your rankings on SERPs and that's what this training is all about. Thanks for stopping by!

          Any truth to the rumor that FB doesn't like links in your posts?

          Good to know you enjoyed this tutorial, Joseph! Much grateful! While you're working between social media platforms, building referral traffic and backlinks, note that social signal only has indirect impact on your SEO.
