Social SEO is one of the fastest growing industries as users move from Google to social with high intent searches. Why do brands need social seo? Because they qwant to own the narrative, the real estate and be more discoverable than any of their competitors. Not only that but social videos, short and long form are now appearing in the Google SERPS - and if it's a brand owned video, the chance of increase organic conversions go up.

We are in the world of multi channel search experience and this is a service is in demand. Searches for social SEO are up 46% YoY according to data we have pulled from Google trends. It's currently getting 164K searches a month.

There are very few agencies globally that have the proven capabilities in social SEO, social search, and channel specific SEO like TikTok SEO or YouTube. So we have compiled a list of the best ones leading the pack.

1. Rise at Seven (Global)

Why they are #1:
Rise at Seven is the most in demand and award nominated agency in social SEO and search - which is why we have put ourselves high up on the list. We started pioneering this as a service 3 years ago when we noticed search volumes for Tripadvisor, our client, were higher on TikTok for "Things to do Chicago" than Google.

Their Dermalogica case study going after skincare category terms on social search was one of the earliest case studies in the industry which set the bar for what success look like. They then went onto to do industry leading work for Parkdean Resorts landing multiple position 1 rankings on TikTok and YouTube and then went onto winning RedBull as the multi channel SEO agency including social SEO.

Rise at Seven has positioned themselves as a leader in “category authority” via a multi-platform strategy. Their work spans traditional SEO, digital PR, content that’s built for shareability, social/discovery platforms (TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, etc.), and now even AI-driven surfaces. What makes them dangerous is their ability to defend a brand’s core footprint in search and then expand it via social discovery and cultural resonance.

Strengths / What Makes Them Different:

• Defend-Grow-Innovate + Search Experience Optimisation (SXO) frameworks ensure not only technical performance but content that ranks and resonates socially.
• They use in-house creators + external networks to generate content that can live both on your website (for SEO) and on social or discovery feeds (for reach).
• Strong case studies with global brands, able to scale across geographies and content types.
• Heavy investment in signals beyond link building – thinking about how to appear in video search, trend discovery paths, UGC, etc.

Best for: Brands that want to not only be found, but to own their category; those with budgets and ambition to push boundaries across platforms.
