The Impact of Social Signals on SEO Rankings in 2025

Most people don't think that search engine optimisation (SEO) and social media re linked. Social media is not a direct ranking factor, but it is a powerful way to improve online visibility, drive traffic to your site, and ensure your content reaches your targeted audience.

The better your content does on social media, the more positive signals it sends to search engines. 

Social Signals and SEO

Search engines rely on complex algorithms to determine your ranking in search results. The algorithms take numerous factors into consideration, including the quality of your content, your backlink profile, user experience, and social signals. Social signals is the engagement your website receives on social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and others. Engagement is the number of likes, shares, comments, and mentions.
