Why being Social is good for SEO!
Social posting and search engine ranking go hand in hand. If you regularly post on social sites and I don’t mean once a month, but 3+ times a week it can definitely help you towards reaching a good google ranking spot and the more you post on as many social sites you can the better. Business has changed over the years and if you are still digging your heals in the sand and not accepting that social media can help to increase sales and customers then you will be left behind.
If you are no good at social posting or don’t know what to do then your best bet is to employ someone to do this job for you. You don’t need to employ someone, you can outsource this to a search engine organisation company like us or you can employ someone on a part-time or contract basis or use a VA facility.
The most important thing to remember with anything you post online is to make sure it is valuable content. Content and postings need to be good quality and not spammy. Anything considered being worthless will do you more harm than good if you post regularly like this. We believe Google tracks social signals and that it takes this into consideration in its search algorithms. As a start point I would at least look at setting up your social profiles.
So what social sites are there?
- LinkedIn Pulse
- You tube
- Google +
- Snap Chat
- My Space
- Bebo
- Vine
So as you can see there is a lot of options to choose from to post regularly on social sites to help increase your business or brand awareness.
When you are posting you want to get as many people to share your posts as possible, using images, questions and video create many more shares that purely text based posts.
