Harry Gold of ClickZ.com states, “Online marketing firms who have search, online media, creative development and tracking technology under one roof are the only entities really qualified to deploy and manage a robust social media channel alive with good content, creative and interactive applications.”
Why?
Consider this: With the numerous applications, technology know-how and research that social media platforms need to promote your company and brand, why would you make your PR or HR department responsible? Trust SEO experts who have the knowledge, research skills and familiarity with your company to provide the best management of your social networking sites. Would you trust your research and development department to design your Website? Probably not, although R & D may provide design insight and suggestions.
A comprehensive SEO company, which provides not only on site search engine optimization, but also integrates analytics and tracking, creativity both in text and visual design, and is knowledgeable about the workings of social media platforms will benefit your company the most. It may be difficult to release the control of branding to SEO experts, but they do have a vested interest in your business and will want to continue working with you.
