One takeaway I had in my SEO career was recognizing the value of social media as a compliment to website content strategies.
This is why I offer social media as part of holistic marketing strategies today, because of the value it has for your business.
In terms of Google Search, I’ve witnessed rising instances of social content, as well as the prominence of social profiles in knowledge panels. In short, social media content is SEO content, in my opinion.
In the age of AI, I’ve also seen the preponderance of social citations in AI Overviews and AI chatbot responses. In other words, social content feeds AI chatbots and agents, influencing the visibility of your brand.
I’ll work with you to leverage your social media platforms to not only grow follower counts and engagement within the platforms, but also have your socials contribute to your brand’s overall digital presence and brand storytelling across search engines and AI chatbots.

Why is social media essential in the age of AI?
I spent 9+ years focusing on content and SEO strategies at digital agencies and as an independent consultant. One of the key takeaways I had is that SEO and social media are symbiotic.
This relationship has only grown stronger in the age of generative AI tools.
But let’s take it back for a moment to the fundamentals.
Content from one social media channel can be repurposed for other channels, like turning a YouTube video into clips for Instagram or TikTok.
Website content can also be repurposed, like turning blog posts into threads for X or Threads or long-form posts on LinkedIn, which appear often in AI Overviews.
Because your social content can get pulled into search results and AI chatbot mentions or citations similarly as website content can, we can see its potential for brand storytelling, engagement, and meeting business goals within a holistic strategy.
What I focus on is your audience’s entire user journey, including within social platforms as well as in search and AI chatbots.
From branded content to notable hashtags, knowing where your target customers spend their time on socials and how that feeds your brand’s overall digital presence (and credibility) can reinforce your holistic marketing goals.
Then, we have knowledge graphs and RAG (retrieval augmented generation), where that brand-focused content can get turned into vector embeddings and used to ground answers from AI answer engines and chatbots like Perplexity, ChatGPT, Meta AI, or Gemini.
Social content is SEO content, but it’s also an essential part of a holistic brand-focused marketing strategy.
