As mentioned earlier in this article, there is strong partnership between Google and Twitter.

Twitter allows Google to index their tweets easily and thereby stream them directly in the search results.

These results are shown by cards in the carousel format. Something like this.

The above carousel appears on the first page of the Google Search results when I searched for ICAI in the Google search box.

This can be extremely beneficial if you want to build loyalty and reputation for your business.

Next, this will also helps you to control the search engine results. Through these tweets, you can decide what you wants to show in the search results when someone search for your brand or business.

Yes, hashtags will give you chance to show your tweets in the search results directly.

This is another optimization tactics to improve your search engine visibility.

If you see the above-attached image (under the ‘Hashtag’ heading), you will observe that only three tweets are shown in the search results. Of which, the third tweet was published 17 hours back.

It means, your tweets will not appear here in the search results if it is published 17 hours.

Now, just imagine. If you’re not active on your Twitter account or else publish only one tweet per day, how can you leverage the benefit of showing your tweets in Google search results?

Hence, it is very important to stay active on Twitter and keep tweeting at regular intervals.

Of course, you need to ensure, you are not overdoing this.

It is not only the brand or business for which twitter carousels are appearing. It can also appear for an individual twitter account as well.

Social Media automation is another best way to leverage your Twitter account.

I know being occupied on a blog, it is not possible for anyone to stay active on twitter as well.

Here, the role of automation comes.

I strongly advise you to automate your social media activities and focus on your blog only.

Through social media automation, you can automatically share your content on various social media sites including Twitter.

Further, it also allows you to scheduled your tweets and published it at a regular period.

I strongly suggest IFTTT here. Through IFTTT ( If this then that), you can easily automate your social activities for free.

Optimizing Twitter account includes more than simply sharing the content the day or week that it’s published.

Besides these, you also need to share your evergreen content once a month or year.

It’s OK, to re-share the content more than one time on your Twitter account. In fact, I suggest to re-share all your blog posts by more than one time.

If I ask you What is the most important factor to rank your blog posts higher in the search engine? What will be your answer?

Of course, your answer will be ‘Keyword Research‘.

The same logic apply here. Like while writing the blog post, you do the keyword research, similarly, you must also do the research while sharing the content on social networking sites.

The reason behind this is simple. A well written and optimize content will gain more visibility than others.

Last but not least, the another tactics is to optimize your twitter bio.

Assuming, your twitter profile always shown in the search results (on first page of the search engine), it is very important to optimize your twitter bio.

Its your bio, which will inform online users about your business and service provided.

Remember, the first impression is the last impression and it is your twitter bio which online users will see before visiting your site or blog.
