What do social media have to have to do with SEO? MWI gets these kinds of information from prospective and current clients.

This is particularly important to consider if you’re planning to invest in SEO.

It’s not difficult to see that Google, Bing, and other search engines rely on online conversations in their ranking algorithms.

Content can be instantly indexed in the event that it’s receiving lots of social engagement.

Social media enables you to put your content in front of people who are interested and could be influenced to link to it when it’s worthy of linking to. They will also share your content with others, increasing your influence.
