Identify Actions that Generate More Traffic

Use Google Alerts to measure the Rate of Expansion.

By using Google Alerts, you can identify other places on the platform that picked up your social media marketing campaign and other posts. It then notifies you of the event through your social media messaging system. It also illustrates all the outside activities that contributed to quality campaign on the website.
Follower Growth Positioning
When you post content on your platform page, you can notice your followers comment on a specific subject you post. The followers and the likes may increase in the process.
