Social Media Practices that boosts SEO
8 Social Media Practices To Boost SEO
Social media is the cornerstone of branding, marketing, and advertising. It’s the
hottest new place to experiment with your latest marketing campaign, then take
it forward. Fewer companies opt for commercials and billboards nowadays since
they can use their social media handles instead.
Almost all forms of business can be conducted online today, which is how we
managed to continue working as a collective global society even during multiple
lockdowns for COVID-19. Although we are returning to an offline world, many of
the practices we have learned online seem to be staying with us. This is the
reason why having an online presence holds vast importance for businesspeople
across the world.

In the meantime, let’s look at some of these social media practices that will help
boost your SEO.
1. Use Visual Content
Most people identify better with short format content than longer textual
content, especially on social media. The idea behind this is that users prefer
spending less time on one piece of content when they can instead scroll to see
others. Visual content with shorter sentences placed strategically can bring in
more traffic and engagement.
2. Understand Different Social Media Platforms
There are many social media platforms, of which the more your company uses,
the better your reach. It’s essential to understand what kind of content goes on
each platform - some support images and videos as opposed to long-form written
content, and so on. The most common social media platforms are Facebook,
Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter, Quora, Pinterest, Medium, and WordPress.
3. Create Useful / Helpful Content
The content you put out there must be relevant to your business, but it must also
relate with your followers or prospective followers. “How to” posts in any
medium are always attention-grabbing, as are fun memes tailored to your
business, and so on. It not only shows that your company’s keeping up with the
times, but it’s also helping you out in some way.
4. Engage With Your Followers
Simply creating posts and sharing them on your profile is not enough; you also
have to engage with your audience. If there are comments on a post, create an
interesting response for it. Conduct more polls and Q&A sessions, create content
to which people can respond, consider and implement follower suggestions, etc.
Engagement increases your social media reach, which leads to more business.
5. Make Your Content Easy To Share
If someone wants to share something from your social media, it should be easy
to do and not a task. Keep your profile name concise and accurate, have the
right social media buttons on your blog and website, and keep your URLs short
and crisp. In your posts, you can even have a CTA mentioning how the
reader/viewer can share your post.
6. Understand The Algorithm
Social media algorithms seem to be the talk of the town because of the
importance they hold to a growing account. The algorithm is a way to sort posts
on one’s feed/dashboard based on several factors. Some algorithms are based
on chronology/posting time, and others on the post's relevance. Without
consistent posting, user engagement, and so on, your page can lose relevance
and your posts will not show up in your followers’ timelines. Unless you spend
time understanding social media algorithms, you won’t know how to develop
your social media to grow.
7. Create A Social Media Schedule
Stagnant social media accounts are incredibly bad news. You don’t want to have
posted something continuously for three days and suddenly stop for the next
week. Sit down with your SEO agency in Northampton, explain your goals, and
develop a content calendar (or a social media schedule). This is to give you an
idea about what your marketing team needs to work on, by when, and for
whichever formats.
8. Invest In Creative Copywriters
A creative copywriter in any marketing team is invaluable because they get into
your consumer's mind and come up with words that will ensure engagement. All
those funny one-liners you see in your notifications or social media captions?
That’s the work of copywriters, without whom social media management would
be a tizzy. By invest, we mean invest - don’t go for someone that accepts the
lowest pay; go for the one whose copies are the most creative.
