While the loosening of its strict 140-character limits have given marketers a bit more freedom, Twitter is meant for brevity. As such, it’s the perfect vehicle to promote your relevant content living on other platforms and your live events happening now.

Tweet smart – Keep your content timely and relevant – and when you can, offer expert or insider information on trending topics. You and […]

Improve Search Rank with Social Media

You’ve heard it a thousand times. Content is king. You get it. But have you “gotten it” in the context of search engine results? Have you integrated your social content into your optimization plan? Doing so can greatly improve your rankings on two fronts.
