 Social media&#39;s influence on search engine rankings has been a long term debate. While it&#39;s been confirmed by Google that social media isn&#39;t a direct contributor to your SEO rankings, there is evidence that suggests the social signals created by this presence are influential.

 Social media was designed for mass sharing and increased visibility. Likes and shares create social signals that also have the potential to do the following:

One piece of content can be used in multiple ways, leveraging greater overall results. With one website blog, you can also create a social media teaser, Google My Business listing teaser and send a teaser through an email campaign - all of which increases website engagement, traffic, SEO and provides additional value to your clients.
