Why social media keyword research?
Differences in topic between search & social networks
• Most popular queries in Google are not the most popular queries in YouTube or Twitter
Differences in topic across social
networks
• Similarly, trending topics and topics of conversation differ between Facebook and Twitter
Intent of search vs. social
• Searchers on Google are looking for an answer. Searches on social media are looking for engagement or a reply.
