Social media and google
-
Do you need exact url brand match to get the benefits of social media noise in the google organic rankings?
EG:
my url extensions have my brnad but other words in, if i get noise does my website stil benefit in the rankings because it has the url in the profile? or do i need exact match in the url?

I see to answer your question, no this will not influence your targeted keywords or help build your site authority.

I think the issue is i know you get value in organic rankings for social noise.
I was just wondering to get it, do you need all profiles to have exact match url exenstion so:

This helps with reputation management. For example if someone types your brand name into Google and all of your social media accounts are labeled _**twitter.com/brandname facebook.com/brandname etc... **_Then it will help these social networks show up, for your brandname within the SERP.
As far as correlation between a website and an active Twitter/Facebook/etc... account, I don't believe one has a direct impact on another. However, if you have social buttons on your site/content such as: "Like" us on Facebook "Tweet" this article and "+1" or "Follow us". That will have a strong impact on your site, especially when the links continue to get shared amongst social networks.

Hi Paul,
Its not necessary but its look good if it so. If you are not getting exact brand name its ok. Twitter and Facebook are about how much you are engaged in it. How your Twitter follower and facebook fans respond to your post. How many share you receives from your twitter tweets and how many likes, shares in facebook post.

Google Indexed Images: Website Vs Social Media
I use Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram to post images that are already featured on my website. I have been following a routine of uploading the images to these social media platforms only after I can see Google has indexed the image from my original site. My website is ecommerce and the product images drive sales more than any other factor. The thinking behind my method was that when these images are posted on Pinterest, Twitter and the various Instagram crawler sites (I realise Instagram images aren’t indexed directly), Google would recognise that the image was already attributed to my website. The ‘duplicate’ image would not therefore be indexed and the originally uploaded website image would remain in ‘Google Images’. After completing various searches and reviewing other Q&A’s on Moz, it seems as though this is in no way guaranteed and images reposted on social media platforms may still replace the already indexed image from the website. I am assuming this is because Google views these platforms as more authoritative than mine. I usually change the image by adding logos, text, backgrounds, borders etc before posting on Pinterest and this seems to have worked most of the time (both the original and ‘amended for Pinterest’ versions are often indexed) but images posted on other platforms are usually identical. Does it make sense to continue with my method or am I shooting myself in the foot by reposting these images on social media at all? I obviously want customers searching for products, who then click on an image, to be directed to my site rather than one of my social media pages or worse, an image reposting site. Additionally, If I post images on social media before they are uploaded to my website (for example to tease a product launch), would Google likely class these images as the ‘original’ and therefore be less likely to index the website version of the image once it is uploaded? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Google Autor Profiles in Big Companies
I work for a big company and they want to use the google autor tag. The goal is to get the rich snippets and better rankings in the future from having a trusworthy autor for each topic building up followers basically. The problem is that the company does not want to pay employees to build up their own autor profiles/trust since an employee could leave the company any time and we would have to start from scratch building another autor profile. Now I know that google only wants real people in google plus bla bla ... bla bla ... How do you guys handle this problem? I thought of having our autors sharing one made up autor profile which is owned by the company.
