Social media posts do not count as traditional backlinks. While they do not directly impact SEO like a link from a website, they can still help with visibility. Social media links are typically "nofollow," meaning they don't pass link equity to your site. However, sharing your content on social media can drive traffic to your website. Increased traffic and engagement can indirectly help your SEO. Social signals may be used by search engines to gauge your content's popularity. So while social media posts don't count as backlinks, they still play an important role in overall SEO strategy.
