Social Profiles – The New-Age Tool
he creation of social profiles for the purpose of marketing is a new-age tool. Many SEO services tend to create fake profiles on social media networks to contact and tap potential consumers. However, they do not really follow a method that earn a favorable return on investment. The online users who are contacted are simply not interested because these social profiles are intruding on their privacy.
Our social profile creation services are markedly different. We do not believe in pushing across web links and spamming social media users. We carefully profile what kind of consumers we are targeting and process accordingly.
Different social media channels have specific demographics. While you will find people having a nice time on Facebook, those on LinkedIn are serious professionals. Our social profile creation services make this distinction while strategizing your online business. We keep in mind the consumer group that you are looking at. Then we create social profiles. Our social profiles are not half-baked jobs that are used to push links to your website on a random basis. A lot of study and research goes into creating online designs that are most effective for your business. Social media is not a teenage phenomenon anymore. It is a professional marketing tool and hence need to make optimum use of it.
It’s a off-page technique used by SEO’s to create profile for their client websites using various social channels. It is a one type link building technique. For a social profile creation you require:
● A company name
● Website address
● Company address
● A brief and detailed description of your company
● An email address
● Contact telephone
● Company Logo
To start off social profile creation services, we engage the following criterion:
● Well-researched and complete social profiles according to the stipulation of your business. The background information and a rough biography sketch is created so that SEO service administrators can handle them uniformly.
● Study social media networks and understand their demographic patterns. We focus our efforts on platforms that your targeted potential customers are using
● Social profiles are used to interact and post comments on social media networks. Also they are used to publish blogs and articles to generate opinion and interest about your brand
● Create a brand identity for your business by using social profile creation services
When you create a social profile you need to optimize your profile 100% so that the users can easily get view of your profile. Main importance is to provide information for the user.

What is SEO – Search Engine Optimization all about?
SEO which stands for Search engine optimization is a methodology of strategies, techniques and tactics used to increase the amount of visitors to a website by obtaining a high-ranking placement in the search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines.
When you search for something in google, you get a huge number of relevant results and most of the people including you I guess try to get the desired content within the first page. Most of the time we don’t bother to move even to the second page of the search results.
Here the idea of SEO comes into play. When you own a website and have included good content there, it’s not obvious that your potential clients will get to the content. In this case you have to go through some rules and ways to make it familiar to search engines like google. An effective and well optimized content can take place in the first page of Google search results.
Now a question may arise that which words would the readers use to find your article. It is also a part of SEO. The words are known as keywords. You have to use those keywords in your website properly and by following the rules of SEO.
It involves strategies, techniques and tactics used to increase the amount of visitors to a website to obtain a high-ranking placement in the search results page.
It’s about making your site better for people too.
Search engine optimization is broken down into two basic areas: on-page, and off-page optimization.
1. On-page optimization- refers to website elements which comprise a web page, such as HTML code, textual content, and images.
2. Off-page optimization- refers, predominantly, to backlinks (links pointing to the site which is being optimized, from other relevant websites).
There are two major types of search engine optimization, white hat search engine optimization (the ‘good’ kind), and black hat (the ‘not so good’ kind).
All these helps in improving your visibility. When we talk about visibility, we mean how high up the SERP (Search Engine Results Page) your website appears for certain search terms in the ‘organic’ results. Organic results refer to those that appear naturally on the page, rather than in the paid-for sections.
Building a strong site architecture and providing clear navigation will help search engines index your site quickly and easily. This will also, more importantly, provide visitors with a good experience of using your site and encourage repeat visits. It’s worth considering that Google is also increasingly paying attention to user experience, including mobile optimization and site speed.
The landscape of SEO changes fast, at Entwined Media Limited we help navigate the unpredictable terrain. Whether it’s a new change in Google’s algorithm, or dealing with semantic natural language search, or implementing the latest accelerated mobile page technology, at Entwined Media Limited #WeCanHelp.
