A social media marketing company develops a profile of an enterprise on a social networking site and/or a blog and manages it such that it gains prominence and patrons from among the members of social media. Blogs are apt to write product reviews and user experiences in the first-person. Here, the marketing strategy chiefly consists of publishing narratives that are compelling enough to generate interest in the readers as well as to trigger positive and favorable consumer behavior in them. Additionally, blogs can also be used to highlight hyperlinks that lead to the e-commerce site or the internet store of the business being promoted.

Such techniques result in a perception among people that the product is not just a hyped-up gizmo, but a consumable with genuine worth and utility.

For such a solution to complement the marketing scheme, professional SEO consultants need to be roped in who can optimize the components of the marketing campaign such that they are ranked high in the list of results returned against a relevant search within the media.
