The fact is that SEO, paid ads, and social have different roles in the digital marketing ecosystem, and you shouldn’t be choosing one over another but try to make them collaborate. Consider the following 6 steps to deploy and manage your Search and Social projects that bring you closer to the business goals.

 

1. Understand your audience behaviors in search vs. social media

First, you need to understand how people behave both on social media and search engines. Review data such as when they use each and what they do or look for in search vs. social media.

2. Set your search goals and social media goals

3. Leverage the social impacts on SEO

Especially with Google, we now see more impact from social media on the organic search results, i.e., social sharing, reviews, authorship, etc. Your digital marketing strategy should leverage the social activities and social assets to improve the organic search performance.

4. Integrate search and social

5. Set the best practice, then enforce it to make sure everyone follows it

Next, you want to put all the findings, goals, and process into a best practice guide for your digital marketing team. Provide the training so that everyone understands it, and enforce the guide among all concerned parties.

6. Establish the communication channels among SEO, Paid and Social
