Does TikTok or Facebook matter when it comes to Google SEO?

[Guest]

For those who know the answer to my question: Does TikTok or Facebook matter when it comes to Google SEO?

Not to forget the platforms themselves are search engines.

Yes they do, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, etc. They all have a trust building factor with each other. Not to mention people from those site can go to your main site and that increases traffic.

It's been speculated with Bing, but I haven't tested it or observed it. Definitely not with Google. The reason is that it's too easily gamed. Google+ tried to change that, but failed pretty hard.

I heard Facebook and google just recently kissed and made up so although previously it probably didn’t it may be that now it might again, maybe.

No, but if you have an audience on social media it's a good idea to use that to your advantage. It's just not going to do much if anything when it comes to SEO.
