Although social media has been an increasing marketing channel in recent times, many firms haven't yet begun to profit from the potential of it. This is crucial when you're investing in search engine optimization. While the benefits of social media are not immediately apparent, they're vital for SEO support. Below are five reasons why social media is essential for SEO.

1) Social Media Signals
It's no secret that Google, Bing and other major search engines are using online dialogue in their algorithm for ranking for some period of time. Social engagement occurs when people comment, like on, share or tweet on a piece of content. Content that has the highest number of social engagements will be able to show more social signals. Search engines look at the social signals they receive, and use it as an element of quality when evaluating content. It's a method of determining what content people find useful over what their algorithm decides is top-quality. The content you've created can also be indexed instantly when it's getting a lot of engagement on social media.

2) Link Building
Long gone are the days of asking for websites to add links to your site. Google's Panda/Penguin algorithm has forced SEOs to build links the traditional way: create high-quality content that is relevant. How can you get your content to websites who are willing to link to your website, even if the request is thought to be "unnatural"? Social media can help. Social media enables you to present your content in front of relevant audiences that may be in a position to influence them to link to your content should it be worthy of linking to. They will also spread your content among others, increasing your influence.

3.) The amplifying of content
You could create any good-quality content that you wish to but it's not going to gain significant traction without the aid of amplification. Yes, email marketing is a great way to amplify content, but it will only reach the people in your database of marketing. Social media allows you to connect with new audiences through your content. After you have shared your content, the people who follow you will also share it with their following if they find it useful. They will then also share it with their friends, further increasing your reach. In return, you gain a lot of relevant traffic, inbound links, branding awareness and social signals These are all utilized by search engines to judge content quality.

4) Brand Awareness & Signals
Search engines may use your brand's name and reputation to determine the quality of your site and how trustworthy it needs to be within their ranking algorithms. Social media can help build brand recognition and boosts the visibility of your content. Google calls this co-citation. Building these co-citations using social media can help increase the trust Google has in your website as well as helping by bringing in search queries that are branded.

5) Social Indexing
Since search engines index social media sites these profiles are now showing on search results pages. This allows your company to be displayed in search results for branded search queries that are not limited to just your own website. However, it's even more than that. Individual tweets from Twitter were once indexed and displayed in search results. This allowed your site to be ranked higher in the search results. That was only temporary for a couple of months, until Google decided to discontinue this feature, which is still in effect. Google will once again show tweets in search results, so it's important to leverage it for getting your content ranked.
