Reaching Next Level SEO Requires Teamwork.

SEO performance is better, much better, when it works alongside other disciplines. Almost everything we do in digital can make SEO more efficient, if we’re making the most of it. You can use social marketing to index content faster, technology to increase crawl performance, content to expand your keyword targeting, communications to acquire links, and UX to increase user signals.

Understanding best practices is simple, and appealing to different disciplines to join forces is nothing new, but expanding on what we know in order to innovate means bridging those gaps from the beginning. Fueling your SEO by focusing on areas like social, communications and UX calls for true integration.

I found you.

For content-forward businesses, it’s all about indexation. You can find the number of pages search engines catalogue and serve to users by typing “site:” in front on your domain in a search bar. It’s tricky, though, because Google only has so much bandwidth, as it has to index billions of pages a day. This is where social marketing comes in. Let’s say you’re working at a news organization and are about to release an article on the latest iPhone. That’s great, but you’re likely doing the same thing as 100,000 other outlets. Since Google has limited bandwidth, the challenge is getting the search engine to index your story so that it ranks ahead of your competition.

Search engines, like everything, prioritize content that people love. So if we drive a successful social launch for promoting our content, Google will find it and feel the same way, index it and rank it.

The SEO factor.

Promoting content strategically through social makes it more likely for readers to find and more likely for them to share. If your content gets enough exposure, it’ll get indexed and picked up by search engines.
