Flawed Marketing Strategy: SEO Without Social Media

If you had a CSMO (Chief Social Media Officer), she'd probably design a search optimization strategy that embraced social media for brand awareness and pervasive discoverability of your business.
Salt and pepper, peanut butter and jelly, social media and SEO. These two online marketing strategies are so intertwined that a media marketing campaign cannot ignore one or the other. To be successful online, a business or website needs both.

Creating an SEO strategy without incorporating the “social media” term is nothing short of a flawed marketing strategy.
