When it comes to digital marketing, simply having all of the individual marketing necessities in place isn't enough. They need to work together and empower one another to make for a more successful overall system. Content and social media offer the perfect example of this dynamic.
Strengthening Your SEO
If you ask any digital marketing expert why content is so important for a business website, they'll probably emphasize its function as an SEO tool. Still, without social media, your content strategy won't reach its full optimization potential. Your ranking is enormously impacted by the quantity and quality of websites linking back to your site. This is the perfect job for social media. When you use your profiles on platforms like Facebook and Twitter to link to each article you publish, you're building links from reputable sites. Not only does this get more traffic flowing to your content, it improves your site's relationship with Google's ranking system.
Expanding Your Reach
SEO isn't the only way that content and social media can work together to expand your reach. Facebook has over a billion daily active users, and Twitter comes in at about 330 million. Meanwhile, more than 40% of digital consumers use social media to research new businesses. The takeaway? You can leverage social media to get your content seen by more leads than ever. Whether it's through user commenting or sharing, your posts on algorithmically-based platforms like Facebook and Twitter can secure a stunning number of impressions in a short time. Content and social media are a powerful team when it comes to brand awareness.
Sparking Engagement
Speaking of commenting and sharing, it's essential to appreciate just how important social media engagement is for a business today. If a lead visits your social profiles only to see that they're devoid of engagement and you only post once in a blue moon, it doesn't look good. Not only does it say that interacting with your community isn't important to you, it stifles your visibility and your lead generation efforts. Consistently posting links to your content will spark engagement among your followers, earn you new ones, and give people something to talk about. All of the most successful brands recognize this, so why not get in on the conversation?
