10 Tips to Boost Your SEO with SMS

SMS and SEO might seem like different worlds, but they work best together. Here is how you can use SMS to support your SEO efforts.

1. Drive Traffic to New Content: Send an SMS blast when you publish a new blog post. The immediate traffic spike sends positive signals to search engines.
2. Request Reviews: Send automated SMS requesting reviews on Google or Trustpilot. More reviews = better local SEO.
3. Promote Voice Search Keywords: Since people read texts on mobile, link them to mobile-optimized pages targeting voice search queries.
4. Reduce Bounce Rate: Send highly relevant links to segmented lists. Interested users stay longer on your site.
5. Distribute Social Content: Link to your social media posts to increase engagement, which indirectly benefits SEO.
6. Keyword Research via SMS: Ask your customers what they are looking for via a 2-way SMS survey. Use their language in your content.
7. Recover Abandoned Carts: Link back to the specific product page, increasing page activity.
8. Link Building: Share your best resources with partners or influencers via SMS (if you have a relationship).
9. Optimize for Mobile: If you are sending SMS, your site MUST be mobile-friendly. Google uses mobile-first indexing.
10. Local Events: Promote local events via SMS to drive local signals.

Combine these strategies to create a holistic digital marketing engine.
