SOCIAL SHARING BENEFITS

Enables users to share your website content over popular sharing networks resulting in increased user traffic.

  1. Increased User Traffic: When users share content over their Social network, it shows up in front of more people which results in increased user traffic at your website.

How Social Media Helps SEO

Potential for Links

  • The more shares on social media you have, the more opportunities people have to see your content and link to it.

Build an Audience

  • You can have the best product or service out there, but if people don’t know about it, you can give it up. “Build it and they will come” doesn’t cut it in today’s competitive marketplace. You have to be proactive and reach people where they are.

Branded Searches

  • When consumers Google your brand name plus a keyword phrase, it can help you rank for similar keyword phrases.

  • An example of this would be if you have a horde of consumers searching “[Your Brand Name] Jeans” and they interact positively with your content, Google would think that since your web page ranks well for “[Your Brand Name] Jeans”, it would also be a good result for “Jeans” and place you higher for the keyword phrase “Jeans”.
