2 months agoHow does social media really impact SEO in 2025?
There is a lot of debate around whether social media directly affects SEO rankings. While Google has clarified that social signals (likes, shares, followers) are not a direct ranking factor, social platforms still play an indirect role:
Content Amplification: Social media helps distribute content to a wider audience, which can naturally attract backlinks.
Indexing & Visibility: Active social sharing can help search engines discover and index new content faster.
