These were just some ways your content can be recognized by the search engine and increase the chances of the discovery of your platform.

Relevance:

Make sure that you post the appropriate content according to the nature of your social media platform or the business that you are running. You cannot be selling groceries and posting about electrical items. Doing this can have a negative impact on the SEO of your platform as the search engine may not categorize your content as you want it to be.

You cannot expect to be posting anything and expecting people to leave their positive impressions and engagements. Your content needs to be engaging in the eyes of your viewers and audience. If the viewer on your social media finds you content to be good, they will likely leave an impression, such as liking it or leaving a comment. This will improve the search ranking of your platform as the search engine will recognize it. Furthermore, there is also a chance that the viewer will have more of a chance that they will share the content with other people, increasing the traffic on your platform.
