Advertising
SEO: a marketing tactic used to help gain
visibility within a search engine’s natural, or
“free” listings.
SEM: another marketing tactic used to help
gain visibility through paid listings (i.e. ads).

Connection between SEO & SMO
Social media optimization (SMO) is
increasingly important to SEO performance.
As more potential clients find, visit, like,
share, +1 or otherwise recommend your
business’ page, your website receives more
traffic and a higher ranking in organic
search results.
Personalized search results and geo-
targeted advertising have boosted the
importance – and benefit – of a social
media presence.

Social Media & SEO
• Social links may or may not boost search rank
• Social profiles rank in the search results
• Social channels are search engines too
• Social channels can give your content/brand legs
• Google doesn’t always tell the truth (or things may change
down the road)
• Bing hasn’t denied that they include social signals into their
organic algorithm
