The first step to growing your business is to let people know about your brand. No matter if you are a local small business or an established global brand, if the customers hear nothing about you, then you are a flop. The main role of SEO is to help your website can be found in the search results and other optimizations. Social media helps in taking this whole experience to the next level. Wondering how? Let’s find out!


  • Adding keywords and relevant hashtags can help your posts get discovered by the audiences and urge people to follow your brand.

  • You can ask clients to leave reviews or tag your brand in their posts, it can help in extending the visibility of your posts.

  • Commenting on the relevant posts by business IDs can help in engaging with others, thereby boosting brand visibility.

  • Instagram reels are a big sensation for grasping quick traffic. You can create fresh reels on your business portal or even ask others to tag you to expand your audience reach.

  • Influencer marketing is another solid way to expand your audience reach since they have a larger list of following and can help you in getting more followers.


The fact is that more awareness of your brand comes directly from social media platforms since people are more active there. The platform can also help you fetch direct traffic to the website. Also, there are chances that when the user like the content you post on social media, they are likely to search for you on Google which can help in boosting your search engine rankings.

Content Amplification to Facilitate Ranking and Indexing

Imagine, in your dream online world, every content you post online directly lands people on your website. Do you know that more than 25% of people click the first page sources on search engines? But, sadly, Google doesn’t owe you anything. Just because you think you have made an awesome website for your brand, doesn’t mean Google will show it on page one or index it (even at your company’s name). Yeah, it's a hard reality! No matter how on-point your keyword strategy is, you cannot simply drive traffic from it.


Give this opportunity to a gifted content writer with great writing skills who not only write amazing content for the website but also unleash creative minds on social media. You should look for new ways to gain traffic from different sources online. 


  • Sharing a perfect piece of content on social media can surely turn several heads to your brand which means more traffic regardless of your rankings on Google.

  • When your brand receives more traffic from other sources, it automatically increases the chances of getting noticed by Google which means faster indexing and better rankings.

  • Regular sharing of informational content can build a loyal audience which can also foster potential website traffic. You can also use old content to it to increase the chances of getting noticed.


And, trust me if the user interaction with the content is longer and deeper, it will surely pour some magic for your brand value in the online market.

Social Media for Great Link-Building

We often hear about how many times the SEO landscape changes, don’t we? But, the one thing that remains constant is the Backlinks! Yes, backlinks play a huge role in SEO rankings. These are the links that you fetch from other sites to yours. The better the ranking of the referring site is, the brighter your chances are to rank on Google. 


Social media doesn’t provide you with direct backlinks. But, the website links on your profile can provide you with direct traffic. The content that we add on social media or posts from other accounts is known as social media referral traffic. However, the combination of content amplification and brand awareness is driven by social media can help in fetching more backlinks. So, it automatically means that social media is like a magical wand for SEO.

Wrapping Up!


To conclude, social media and SEO are dynamic duos that you cannot afford to miss. It is an ultimate opportunity to humanize your brand, build a solid community, and elevate your brand's message. So, go ahead and make the most of this match made in heaven.
