VIDEO: Search + Social = ♥ | Take It to the Next Level #RelationshipGoals

Together search engine optimization and social media marketing create a powerhouse effect that drives traffic to your site, builds buzz and creates brand awareness. And while both are worthy forces on their own, when combined they’re even stronger. Jason White, the VP of SEO & SEM at Dragon Search and Maggie Malek, the head of social at The MMI Agency, agree 100% — and next week, we’re all headed to Seattle to lead sessions at SocialPro and SMX Advanced.

But we couldn’t wait. We were ready to start talking about #RelationshipGoals when it comes to SEO & SMM. Listen in as we discuss:

• Why search and social are a match made in heaven
• Client success stories
• Livestreaming videos
• Artificial intelligence and virtual assistants
• Snapchat hacks

White and Malek will take the SMX Advanced stage in the the “Search and Social: Let’s Dance” session at 11 a.m. on June 22. If you’re headed to SMX, you definitely don’t want to miss.

If you’re not headed to SMX, however, you’re still in luck. I’ll be liveblogging key sessions at SMX Advanced. Subscribe to the Bruce Clay, Inc. Blog to get all the news coming out of SMX Advanced as it happens … for free!
