Gone are the days when Google was the most important factor to consider in your search strategy.
As a marketer in today’s digital landscape, you should be putting real emphasis on how you optimize content for social media.
More and more people are turning to the search bar on social media platforms – and the more discoverability your brand has on these platforms, the better.
Even Google has made note of social media’s dominance in recent years, particularly with its new Short Video Result Type on mobile SERPs.
With the explosion of TikTok came a significant rise in short-form video content. Other social platforms have embraced the trend, as well – with Instagram continuing to push its Reels feature, and YouTube rolling out Shorts.
As a result, search engines are getting in on the action by allowing users to discover relevant short-form videos as part of their search results.
The impact social media has had on search marketing is undeniable.
