Social media is an essential tool for inbound marketers to attract more traffic and customers, not just leads. Internet users spend significantly more time on social media platforms like Facebook than on search engines like Google. Both business to business (B2B) and business to consumer (B2C) companies have been successful acquiring customers through social platforms, especially LinkedIn which has helped 65% of B2B companies obtain a customer. By building relationships and driving inbound links through social media, marketers can increase their search engine page rank and organic search engine optimization which influences keyword purchases and improves overall search results, making social media a powerful moneymaking tool.
