You can use the tool WordTracker to research the best keywords for your business.
- Link your website: Include a link to your website on all your social media profiles or blog posts. This allows your customers to click through to your website from a search engine, and increase your website traffic.
- Use keywords in your images: When posting images on social media sites include your keywords in the image caption and a link to your website.
