• SEO is all about getting your website and content, your products and services in front of your customers, by improving your search engine rankings. All this means is when someone makes a search for a product or service that you provide, they will find your site near the top of their search results. This is if you have correctly done your SEO to all aspects of your web presence.

The main difference between SEO and SMO

• SEO focuses on targeted keywords and is used to deal with on page and off page (backlinks) factors.
• SMO focuses on interactive and useful relevant content, it is more about quality than quantity on social media sites. It is more about brand awareness.
