Social signals and SEO
Social shares and mentions are not confirmed direct ranking factors, but they correlate with visibility, brand awareness and secondary effects such as natural links and traffic. Tracking them helps measure content resonance and campaign impact.
Correlation ≠ causation
High shares often accompany popular content that also earns links and rankings.

Mentions (even without links) can support entity recognition.
