Social media is basically used to create viral publicity and increase awareness of a product or brand for any organization or event. The ultimate goal of SMO is to generate traffic and awareness for a brand or website.
Google crawls social content which is shared by the users on various platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, etc., to rank pages in search results. This, in turn, supports Search Engine Optimization (SEO). It has, hence, become very important to integrate Social Media with SEO.

Social Media Optimization is very important and an indispensible part of a brand/website success, irrespective of whether it is owned by a company or an individual.
