number of ways, such as by disseminating articles and posts that outline SEO best practices and

techniques, making visually appealing infographics that break down difficult SEO concepts,

producing tutorial, webinar, and expert interview videos, holding webinars to inform viewers

about the newest trends in SEO, and providing actionable SEO insights through the download of

extensive eBooks and guides.

Firstly, SEO is a topic that businesses, website owners, and digital marketers are interested in,

and promoting SEO within SMM resonates with an audience actively seeking ways to improve

their online presence (Jowel, 2023). Secondly, SEO can be communicated effectively through a

variety of content types, offering versatility and catering to different learning preferences.

Morealso, leveraging SEO within SMM allows networking with professionals in the field

of digital marketing and SEO, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing (Rukmani, 2022).

Finally, the social media platforms chosen to offer both targeted access to professionals and a

broader reach to individuals interested in digital marketing while providing educational value.
