1. Build Your Brand Identity & Awareness<\/h2>\n
So first, let\u2019s talk about brand identity and awareness by completing a short exercise.<\/p>\n
Google your brand\u2019s name. What shows up?<\/p>\n

This can be highly beneficial for users to get to know a brand by browsing through some of their most recent tweets.<\/p>\n
And it also gives you direct control over what appears in search results around your brand\u2019s name. That\u2019s a big<\/strong> deal!<\/p>\n How often do we get a chance to control what users see in search results? Rarely.<\/p>\n Note: If you don\u2019t have a carousel appearing for your brand already, this article<\/a> provides some helpful tips.<\/p>\n In addition to getting a positive message in front of potential consumers, it\u2019s another way to build awareness, strengthen thought leadership, and humanize the brand.<\/p>\n It helps you to connect with your audience in a more authentic and easily digestible form.<\/p>\n This is another reason why it\u2019s important to share content that your audiences will find interesting and valuable and show your personality.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also essential to ensure your tweets align with your brand messaging and overall business mission.<\/p>\n Look for ways to leverage a Twitter carousel by using relatable and relevant content.<\/p>\n Your brand can implement one of the numerous trending tactics. But here are a few of the most important ones to consider:<\/p>\n This is your chance to grab the attention of new audiences and help retain your current ones. So, ensure your tweets reflect how timely, exciting and trendy you are!<\/p>\n What are people in your industry talking about? Do you have a new product or event coming up? Try creating engaging copy and imagery reflecting that through a Twitter carousel.<\/p>\n In addition to being trendy, ensure you\u2019re sharing extremely relevant content with your audiences. Keep in mind their everyday challenges and main responsibilities.<\/p>\n Then ask yourself, \u201cWhat would my audience want to learn more about? Why do they enjoy our products or services?<\/em>\u201d And highlight those aspects in a carousel.<\/p>\n Interacting with other relevant accounts and tagging them in tweets will help increase search presence.<\/p>\n Think about the key publications, thought leaders, and influencers in your space, and make sure you\u2019re regularly engaging with them on Twitter.<\/p>\n Try finding things you have in common or aspects you can collab on.<\/p>\n These interactions can help get your content in front of new audiences. It also brings more authenticity to your brand when people see someone they recognize using a product or engaging with a brand they follow.<\/p>\n Incorporate relevant hashtags in your tweets. This will give you a chance to rank on SERPs.<\/p>\n You want to make sure your audience isn\u2019t confused by your tweets. They should clearly understand what your brand is all about and why they should care.<\/p>\n Targeted keywords and a clear call to action<\/a> will help grab their attention and keep them engaged.<\/p>\n The Twitter carousel appears for individuals as well.<\/p>\n With this in mind, encouraging your internal team members to promote content can impact your brand\u2019s search visibility.<\/p>\n Remaining active on Twitter and across all your social media accounts is essential to keep your audiences engaged.<\/p>\n The key is ensuring that tweets are relevant and valuable and that you\u2019re not just tweeting to get content out there.<\/p>\n We know the importance of social media legitimacy<\/a> and its potential impact on Google rankings.<\/p>\n For example, a social media account with 10,000 followers and two posts differs from another 10,000-follower account with consistent interactions and posts.<\/p>\n Even more interestingly, Google filed a patent<\/a> to determine whether social media accounts were real or fake. This can help get rid of the clutter of fake accounts and followers.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, the focus should be on building a following and establishing a more vast audience.<\/p>\n By doing this, you can increase the likelihood that users know your brand and will trust and click on your content in search results.<\/p>\n And do you know what directly impacts Google rankings? Click-through rates<\/a>.<\/p>\n Creating a Twitter strategy to distribute and promote content long-term is essential. This requires more than just sharing content on a daily or weekly basis.<\/p>\n Promoting evergreen content, or brand-specific content, over a month or even a year will help increase visibility on social media and in search results.<\/p>\n Also, generating shares on social media will help from a link-building perspective.<\/p>\n The more reach you have on social media, the more opportunities users have to see your content, like it, and be motivated to link to it.<\/p>\n2.
