Over the past 10 years, social media has occupied a mainstream position for marketing. Social media gives your business a big boost in search rankings. Your search engine results page [typically referred to as SERPs] is filled with dozens of ads and dynamic search results. Some are answer boxes, image carousels, links, and more.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is becoming crucial for businesses to be found. Social media handled well can provide a big boost on SEO and being found at the top of search engines.
TIP: Your following/followers is not a direct ranking factor on SERPs. BUT it can affect generic searches. The more followers you have, rank better for key words.
MORE FOLLOWERS + QUALITY FOLLOWERS ARE MORE LIKELY TO SHARE YOUR CONTENT.
As you grow your social pages, you also gain direct traffic back to your website. It’s almost impossible to get all your visitors to your site from search engines alone. Social media can create another great source for inbound traffic.
Don’t forget while traditional advertising has many benefits, it is not free. Whereas using social media is completely free. It costs you zero dollars to create social media profiles on different platforms and post organic content. If you’d like to go the extra mile and promote your posts further, paying for promotion will help increase exposure. Boosting posts are typically affordable as well. You can set your budget and go from there. There is also an option to stop the ad at any point if you don’t see any gains from it.
