Social Media for SEO

[quartercheapersigns]

Hi!

I have a small business in Canada. My question is... What is the best way to connect my social medias with my website for better ranking?

Thanks.

Link to your social media accounts/pages from your website. Often people use a "Follow Us" format for this.

Link to your website from your social media pages.

You might also want to implement some "local business" schema. This schema includes "same as" markup which authoritatively connects your social accounts to your business. There are quite a few articles on how to add this type of schema to your website.

Yes, local schema is the best way to rank your business. You can create a section for social media icons, Most of people use "Follow us" or "Connect us".
You can also use the same.

Google no longer supports sameAs schema: Google deprecates social knowledge panel markup support - Search Engine Land

I wonder if it is like "Meta Keywords" where it, too, is deprecated but having them does seem to make a difference...
