This results in the enhancement of ranking and expansion of the visibility of the website, on different search engines.
Pulls quality traffic
The process executed in an SMM activity after identifying the target audience, is what sets it apart from other marketing channels. This results in a prominent inflow of desired traffic. Quality traffic can likewise be narrowed down from a specific zone or demography by geo-tagging the posts, which mainly consists of images or videos.
Decreases cost per acquisition
The expenditure made for generating each lead through marketing activities, defines the Cost Per lead Acquisition (CPA). The ability to keep the visitors engaged in the website keeps the cost per acquisition minimum.

Online presence enables an organization to advertise, and engage in various aspects of digital marketing. Monitoring these activities increases the efficiency of reaching the targeted audience. It also makes conversion of leads more feasible. Due to decreased Cost per Acquisition (CPA), the Return on Investment (ROI) gets increased.
Increases website referrals
Social Media Marketing (SMM) is the most effective medium to make an organization's presence felt in the internet, get referred to and bring web traffic. Factors influencing the increase in website referrals are Guest Blogging, Newsletters, and Publishing Useful Contents.
CLICK MANAGEMENT
It is also known as PPC, which stands for pay-per-click. It is nothing but a model of internet marketing in which advertisers pay a fee each time one of their ads is clicked. Essentially, it’s a way of buying visits to the website, rather than attempting to “earn” those visits organically.
BRAND ENGAGEMENT CAMPAIGNS
Brand engagement campaign encourages both loyal fans and potential new clients to like, share, comment and contribute to the brand's narrative. The campaign's success is often measured using social media engagement metrics. If the campaign goes viral, it is considered to be a hit campaign.
HASHTAG MANAGEMENT
If the right hashtag is included in the social media posts, the organization would likely see a higher engagement rate than if they didn’t use any hashtag. This is because hashtag, a combination of letters, numbers, and emoji pre-ceded by the # symbol categorizes content and makes it more discoverable. Anyone who clicks on a hashtag or searches for it would see a page with all the posts tagged with it.
Drives offline sales
As the physical market place still reigns supreme, online leads can add up to the customer base of the brand marginally. SEO brings relevant and quality traffic to the website, which makes up the opportunity of generating offline sales.
