It has been proven that a business who is active in social media ranks higher. It’s part of Google’s ranking algorithm. Another important part of Google’s ranking algorithm is having fresh content on your website (ie a blog). How nice would it be to make a blog post on your website and have it automatically go to multiple social media platforms… That’s what Buffer can do (with some plugins).
Buffer by itself allows you to schedule posts, analyze performance, and manage all your social media accounts in one place. Supported platforms are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and Pinterest. You can link to three social media platforms for free. If you want to post to them all (highly recommended) they currently charge $144/year. You can create posts within Buffer’s website, schedule posts and very easily post to a single social media platform, or all at once.
The real power of Buffer is revealed when you integrate your WordPress blog with it. WordPress to Buffer Pro is an awesome tool that allows your WordPress blog to connect to Buffer. You can choose to either send the posts to Buffer and review them there before posting, or just automatically post the article to ALL your social media platforms at once. That’s what I do and I LOVE it. It saves me a ton of time.
I have implemented this solution for numerous clients and they have reaped the benefits by ranking higher. As I’ve mentioned before, SEO is not one or two things. It’s many things that have to be followed in order to improve your ranking. This solution not only satisfies Google’s need for fresh content on your website, but it also satisfies the social media aspect of SEO.
