Slag Tag Media Update: Google Search Is Becoming a Discovery Tool for Your Social Media
Google has introduced a new feature in Google Search Console called Platform Properties, giving creators and businesses a better understanding of how people discover their social media content through Google Search. Instead of only tracking website traffic, businesses will now be able to see which search terms are leading people to content on platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and X. This is another signal that Google recognizes social media as an important part of a business’s online presence, not just its website. The feature is rolling out gradually over the coming weeks.
For welding businesses and tradespeople, this reinforces something we’ve been talking about for months. Every Reel, YouTube video, and educational social media post has the potential to become searchable beyond the platform where it was originally published. Creating content that answers common customer questions, demonstrates a welding process, or showcases completed projects doesn’t just help your followers. It can also help new customers discover your business through Google Search. As search and social media continue to merge, businesses that consistently create helpful, original content will have another advantage over those who only post advertisements.
What this means for your business
Start treating every social media post like a mini search result. Use descriptive captions that include the type of welding, material, process, or service you’re showcasing. Instead of writing “Finished another one,” try “Custom aluminum trailer repair completed with TIG welding.” Clear, keyword-rich descriptions make your content more useful to customers and improve its chances of being discovered as search engines continue integrating social media into their results.
