The “Search and Social” Love Connection

Virginia Nussey dives into the harmonious relationship that is search and social in this month’s feature story interview with Rob Garner (@RobGarner), extracting insight into questions like:

  1. What will businesses lose by keeping SEO and social media marketing separate?h
  2. For organizations that currently have separate search and social marketing departments, how can the merge be best transitioned?
  3. Are there missed opportunities for marketing and visibility where search and social meet?
  4. Do you have advice for integrating and leveraging search and social with other marketing channels?
  5. How can a business discover the right synergies to boost their current marketing efforts?
  6. It’s impossible to give one-size-fits-all advice on this issue, but what signs should a business look for when deciding which social channels to invest in?
  7. Is the search and social manager excellent at all areas or is a team with members for each specialty?
  8. What do you think the hybrid search-and-social professional looks like for the average small to mid-size business?
  9. Do you think all businesses today need to develop a brand personality to be successful?
  10. Can you explain more about social relevancy and how to calculate it and optimize for it?

Agreed that SMM is a powerful tool for improving your web visibility and customer reach and connection but not always essential for all types of businesses. It’s also crucial to understand your market and where they hang out before deciding which social media avenues to pursue.
