There are so many great articles about utilizing Social Media for Search Engine Optimization – also known as SEO. Unlimited information good and bad circulate including Twitter Support itself – providing outstanding direct information and Knowledge Base articles that are EASY, hyperlinked, offer immediate solutions for the Twitter platform.
What is Twitter, and What’s the Point?
I’m with you on this. For years, Twitter seemed like a playground of fast information, meeting friends, and generally sharing information and thoughts. We have told clients for years to USE it wisely, remain positive, and participate by FOLLOWING their favorite celebrity, news sources, or friends.
We also stated for years that “Twitter is essentially a public text message to the world” and that was when it was only 140 characters. Since 2017, they have evolved this network to accept 280 characters and added about 40 languages.
As of today, 2022 – Twitter has redesigned, and added a bunch of new features.
Back to SEO and Twitter
Always being available to clients – reputation management, branding, and tons of endless Search Engine Optimization included always hanging out on Twitter as the client, and assisting.
So why is FNMedia Ltd Co on Twitter? Because it’s absolutely hilarious. If you can just ignore any negativity, and the mild stage fright of being potentially seen across the globe – Twitter can be a powerful tool if used ethically and properly.
You can customize the URL too, once verified, such as:
https://www.Twitter.com/FNMediaLLC
If you’re already on Twitter just run a search there for our name, or your friends, or yourself – you will notice the ID of each account you view … @FNMediaLLC – Many popular accounts include an Underscore, FYI !
Should I Use Twitter Though?
YES! There is incredible value in using Twitter for content sharing and posting links, and images, and yes, the search engines adore Twitter – and give it special recognition similar to other prominent social media marketing avenues like Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.
Prior to writing this article, we discovered Google provides a “panel” which ranks very high – a carousel type widget on Google, up to the minute once you make yourself known and participate for a while. So, therefore, we have always suggested utilizing Twitter because it’s FAST, EASY, and FUN… and powerful.
What’s the Blue Badge Check-mark Thing?
This is a question we took directly to Twitter Support, and feel it’s a closely guarded secret. Twitter had a limited Verification system and then shut it down. Then they would decide themselves who was valid versus a Spoof Account, or Parody Account as they refer to it.
The existing Blue Badges are for high traffic entities and official celebrities that are often spoofed (FBI, Secret Service, etc), but for us business folks – The program is currently suspended – don’t even try right now.
The same is true on other social media platforms. Twitter may begin the program again, but we are currently in a Digital Transformation that’s affecting the entire internet across the globe, and expect this to begin again soon. (Side Note: Facebook also suspended it’s Verified Page program – the Blue Badges for people, and Gray Check badge for Business)
Okay, I’m Still Confused
That’s perfectly normal. Twitter is a text message, it’s easy, and there is plenty of help. Just know you should start reading other articles written about it – we actually suggest following “SEO Hacker” owner Sean Si. His articles are well written and absolutely stellar and accurate. He updates his articles often and leaves no stones un-turned.
Just prepare to create your Twitter Account first.
Then prepare yourself for at least 1x Tweet per day, and increase that as you build your audience and Followers.
