The overwhelming popularity of social networking sites is considerably influencing search engine results, particularly Google search results. We can now find personalized rank results, prominent results with rel-author and # searches that incorporate G+ hash tag queries as a part of Google search experience. Thus, social media optimization strategies are becoming indispensable for your SEO efforts. Warren Lee, SEO Manager at Adobe, did a presentation at SMX (Search Marketing Expo) East 2013 which explains how to go about aligning social media and SEO. According to him, if SEO focused on
content,
website
architecture
and
linking
earlier,
now
identity,
relationships and content have assumed more significance. Relationships include personalization while identity-based signals include agent/author rank (if a given author / agent has high reputation score which indicates an established reputation for being the author of a valuable content, then other content authored by that same agent will be promoted more than that from less reputable agents), relevancy and engagement graph (how the audience as a whole view your content).
Data Alignment You need to determine the impact of social signals on search engine optimization. For that, align your key performance indicators (KPIs) for instance, sales and conversion goals, keyword data and study how they correlate with social signals. Use the social data thus obtained to inform content marketing strategies. The social data will tell you what websites your audience frequently visits when they are not on your website and what content circulates among them most. This information will help you device your content marketing strategy to deliver meaningful content for your customers wherever they happen to be online. So, data alignment does not mean merely sending out your marketing message through social networking sites but listening to your audience in those sites more.

Innovation The innovations should be based on the social data, strategy and product support. Once the social data gives you insight into what customers actually want and where they prefer to utilize online content, you can develop a strategy that targets your customers. Always remember the virtuous cycle in which social conversations inform keyword strategy, keywords inform social content strategy, social engagement enhances search performance which in turn increases social signals and drives more social conversations.
