Increase Social Signals

The best way to increase your social signals is to post helpful content. This can include blog posts, white papers, videos, webinars, and press releases.

Publish these items on your website and encourage users to share them on social media. The more people share your content, the more social signals you will build.

A good rule of thumb is to share your content with as many people as possible, particularly on popular social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

Social signals are the votes that users give your site. The higher the number of social signals you've got, the more likely you'll appear in search results. This applies to cumulative comments, favorites, and overall exposure on social media sites.

These signals can be precious in improving your organic search rankings. Use social media to engage with influencers and marketers. This is one way to increase your organic search visibility.

While social signals don't directly affect search rankings, they tell Google that your content is interesting to readers and worth sharing.

And it helps your website's traffic too. If you have exciting and valuable content on social media, people will want to share it with their friends.

Social signals are not enough to boost your search rankings, but they can help increase your social media presence.

Hi Lily...great information, as always. I was curious to know when you update old posts, should you change the date or just republish with some new content?

Thanks for all these tips,
Susan

Hi Susan, this is a question asked often and the answer is, 'It depends'. Lol

If you are updating a post that you know has never been indexed then I would put the new date on it and then ask for it to be indexed. You could even change the keyword title to get it indexed as you are losing nothing by doing this if it has never been indexed. Just change the name in the Permalink as well and it's a whole new post.

But if it's just a 6 month or older post that you want to refresh that has been indexed then add new information or images. Check that you have followed good seo practice and then ask for a Google update. I have Rank Math on my website which shows a Google update under my edit button for each post.

But you can just go to the GSC and ask for indexing.

These are details that we need to know but it's hard to know the question when we first start.
