Why "Social SEO" matters

When someone searches your brand, the first 10 results are your brand SERP. Owning 6–8 of those slots with your site + verified social pages is the cheapest, strongest trust signal you can build.

The 5-step Social SEO framework

  1. Profile parity — same name, logo, tagline across every platform.
  2. Keyword-rich bios — what you do, where, for whom.
  3. Linked entity — every profile links to your homepage; homepage links back via sameAs schema.
  4. Indexable post layouts — pin posts Google can read.
  5. Consistent posting cadence — Google rewards freshness on social URLs too.

The technical signal: sameAs schema

Add a Person/Organization JSON-LD on your homepage with sameAs listing every social profile.
