Social media is a powerful tool. Your presence on sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Instagram may not have a direct effect on SEO,* but they can make a lot of difference to your overall web presence – including the amount of traffic your site gets and your company’s reputation online.
If you can identify your target audience, you can use social media marketing strategies to reach out to them specifically. Facebook ads, for example, can be set to target specific demographics, taking into account things like age, gender, marital status and interests, allowing you to pinpoint your campaign to only those potential customers who would be most receptive.

*Note: The SEO effect of social media activity is variable because the internal content of some platforms, like Facebook, cannot be indexed. However, search engine algorithms can “see” traffic to your website originating from any social media platform, and that does factor into organic rankings.
