  4. Authority websites mean that their content is instantly index by Google and held with higher relevance. First page search results of your name and business lists your social media. Establish unique username (name of business) immediately for all popular social media so it cannot be captured and used by others.Facebook is top referrer, then twitter, and linkedin. Google is feeling the impact. Social media provides personal endorsements. Referrals can only happen when backlinks to your website are available. Since 40% of social media is accessed through phones, what happens when someone clicks the links to your website?
