You need to enter conversations, respond to questions and queries, talk to customers who mention your brand, and interact.

Remember, you only have 140 characters to grab their attention and I’m a firm believer that creating quality content on Twitter will help improve your ranking. You need people to retweet your content and enhance your importance in Google’s eyes; create valuable articles and tools that will make them want to link to it and share it with their own followers. Increase your chances of being retweeted by leaving enough characters for people to add their own comments

Optimizing your Twitter account by including keywords that you want associated with your business. Include them in your bio and in your tweets.

Start conversations, reply to what others are saying about the post, and notice the conversation it generates. Provide information that others will seem useful, and chances are you’ll advance your website in the SEO game.
