HOW TO OPTIMIZE YOUR TWITTER PROFILE FOR SEO

I often see people getting very cute and creative with their twitter bio. Cute and creative is nice, but ensuring it gets found by searchers should be of most concern. Here a few key things to revise and implement in order to have an effective social media presence on this platform.

Proper Profile picture or branded image ?
-A proper profile photo is key to branding your self or business
-Saving the image as your name is important
-Standard size is 73W X 73L Pixels & File size no larger than 700K

Custom Profile Background ?
-There are several ways to brand your self or business and a custom background is one, at the end of the day, first impressions are everything.
-1800W X 1500L Pixels & File size must be under 800K


Twitter Handle Properly Placed ?
-lowercase letters and all caps make it difficult to see, spell and remember your handle
-you get 15 characters so make it count @AndreMcKayATX looks a whole lot better than @ANDREMCKAYATX or @andremckayatx right? "I know i'm right" ;-)

Facebook URL in BIO ?
-your able to place a @TwitterHandle, #HashTag, and even a URL such as the one for your facebook page. DONT forget to add your website as suggested though in that specific area.

Website properly edited ? http:// not http://www.
-remove the WWW. from your website or url’s http://IsAllYouNeedNow


Keywords properly placed in BIO ? “This is actually your META Description”
Google indexes your tweets and ranks you according to your following and helps you get found by people using keywords in a search. You may like that hilarious quote or one liner now but when it comes to being found by those potential clients, you better believe they’ll find someone else before they find you if your not taking advantage of this key feature.
