  • Pinterest pins, views, comments, links.
  • LinkedIn connections, links, and references.

Basically any interaction on a social media site that drives engagement and/or drives traffic to your website is a social signal.

Social Signals Have A Direct Impact On Search Ranking

How and why do social signals improve rankings?

This question is still very debatable but The Real Social Company has done performance and rankings on test pages that indicate social signs have a direct impact on ranking that comes from:

  • Number of people that like your brand on various social
  • Number of shares, likes, hearts, etc
  • Number of comments
  • Number of social media posts linking back to your website
  • Number of times your social page is tagged

This is one of the reasons we suggest posting daily.  Daily posting drives up the volume and chance of these types of things happening and thus helps boost your SEO over time.

Social Signals Should Be Part Of Any SEO Plan

Ways To Get More Social Signals?

As you know nothing on the internet is automatic, that include generating social signals. Here are the most effective way to guarantee social signals for your website.

     1.  Create More Content On Social Media

Effective content creation and posting of this content is the #1 way to get social signals for free. In other words be active on social media sites. Publish posts daily to all your social media accounts. Make sure each post has a backlink to your websites. You can also take advantage of our Social Media Management plans to generate this content and post it for you.

     2.  Engage With Your Audience

One of the worst things you can do is post something and then no answer comments, feedback, likes and shares.  If you post something make sure you comment on it, reply to comments, and answer messages. Part of our long term Social Media Management package also does this for you.

3.  Purchase Automated Social Signals

The easiest way to get social signals is to purchase them.  This gives a certain amount of social signals every month.  Our social signals service will do your automated social signals each month and send you a report on every post.
