How Social Media Supports SEO • a. Content Distribution and Visibility • Social media platforms act as a channel for distributing content to a larger audience. • Example: Sharing a blog post on Facebook can lead to more clicks, traffic, and engagement. • Higher engagement on social platforms increases the likelihood of earning backlinks, which directly boost SEO.

Boosting Website Traffic • Social media posts with links to your website can drive significant traffic. • Search engines value high traffic as a sign of relevance and quality. • This can improve the site's ranking on SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages). • c. Brand Awareness and Authority • Consistent engagement on social media helps establish brand authority. • Search engines often consider brand mentions and popularity as ranking factors. • A well-known brand is more likely to rank higher due to trust and relevance. • d.
