Social Media Optimization (SMO)
The arrival of Web 2.0 significantly changed the business of online marketing. Websites have evolved from static, information-only documents into fully interactive online communities where users create, contribute, and connect through shared interests. Social Media Optimization, commonly referred to in the industry as SMO, is the art and science of making your website, your content, and the various media offered on your site better optimized for the new way consumers and site visitors are interacting online.

How does Social Media Optimization Help SEO?
SMO is closely related to SEO in that both types of optimization increase your website’s chances of being found, shared, and considered a valuable resource. If SEO is the practice of optimizing a website for the search engines, you can think of SMO as the practice of optimizing a website for the users. Adding SMO features to your website significantly increases its chance to grow, gaining more natural links and increased traffic. As web crawlers begin to recognize your website’s “community,” it becomes more valued by the search engines, which leads to higher organic rankings. Web Ad.vantage can help you develop a successful SMO strategy for your website that compliments your SEO plan and enhances the results.
