It's worth noting that social media signals (i.e. metrics of engagement) are just one factor that impacts Search Engine Optimization (SEO) rankings. Other important factors include website usability, mobile-friendliness, site speed, and backlinks, to name a few. However, having a strong social media presence can indirectly impact these other factors as well. For example, if your social media posts are driving traffic to your website, that can boost your site's overall traffic, which is another factor that can positively impact SEO rankings.

To sum it up, social media does indeed have an impact on your website's SEO ranking. By focusing on creating engaging, shareable content and building a strong social media presence, you can improve your social signals and indirectly impact other important SEO factors. So, it's important to prioritize your social media efforts as part of your overall SEO strategy.

"As MarCom Group’s Chief Communications Officer, I'm often asked about my journey and what led me to my current position. Looking back, I realize my passion for this field was sparked by an incredible mentor and professor who taught me the inextricable link between leadership, business, and communications. Through his guidance, I learned that clear, concise, consistent communication is essential, and that communications professionals must have a deep understanding of the business—their industry, their organization, their role—to be truly effective.

Over the years, I've come to appreciate the critical importance of this connection and the role it plays in driving results. Whether leading a small team or a large corporation, we owe it to our people to communicate well, and ensure they understand the mission and the impact of the work they do.

Communication is a leadership business!" - Les Kodlick

I’m so excited to be celebrating 5 official years with MarCom Group’s team! I’ve had the unique privilege to witness MarCom Group’s first day in business from the comfort of my day pen while Deb worked at her desk beside me. From this literal and figurative vantage point I’ve observed MarCom Group’s resiliency these last 27 years. That resiliency is the product of a leadership team that cares about their people and a team that is highly skilled, creative, and dedicated to one another. I feel so lucky to work among this group of professionals. It speaks volumes that by celebrating only 5 years, I’m one of the newer kids on this block. In the last five years, I’ve grown from production manager to account director, I’ve risen to the ranks of a member on our leadership board, and I’ve gained invaluable experience and relationships. Cheers to what the next 5 years will bring!
