One of the main problems in the SEO environment was demonstrating (when a business had a website and social media accounts) that a significant portion of the searches could also reach other social media accounts of the company (without necessarily harming the website). The problem is that this lack of information has confused many companies when measuring their SEO performance. For example, if a website had 5,000 organic visits per month and suddenly those visits dropped to 4,000, two things could be happening:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. The website&#8217;s organic search engine ranking is down, and 1,000 people are already clicking on the search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. The website has 1,000 fewer visits from organic searches. Still, by measuring other social channels, we realize that those 1,000 visits are now coming from the company&#8217;s other social media channels (for example, 800 on YouTube and 700 on TikTok). Therefore, we can conclude that search traffic didn&#8217;t decrease, but rather increased; it&#8217;s just that this traffic is distributed among the company&#8217;s other digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we can see, having this tool is a great advantage for measuring the social SEO of any company or business. However, I think Google took too long to enable this feature (it was only enabled in 2026 when it could have been enabled in 2021), but as the saying goes, &#8220;better late than never.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>What do you think about this?
