Alexandra Tachalova recently theorized “SEO and SMM are like pizza and cheese: you can get one without the other, but, believe me, it isn’t worth it.”
Social Media Marketing (SMM) has become a significant tool in the all-important battle for Google rankings but it begs the question; Should your focus be on SMM or Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)?
SMM through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram allows you, the user/owner, to post content related to your brand whereas SEO blog posts created by another person/company, ranks your business in Google. So which is better you ask?
The answer is, both! SMM allows you to post content directly to your followers and create interest whereas SEO links to your website can provide the clicks you need to garner new customers.
Your business needs to harness the power of the two. Well-written content will ensure your message is sent via both channels which in turn will pay dividends for you.
