Social Media Impact on Google and SEO POV

Are Twitter and Facebook tweets and likes an SEO ranking signal?

Social content matters because it is crawlable content that lives on an authoritative domain. It can appear alongside your own site content in the SERPs, especially SERPs for branded queries using a content calendar.
