Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here you’ll find answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about our social signal counter tool and related services. If you have any additional questions, feel free to reach out to us!
How to use it?
To use a social signal counter tool, you will need to provide the URL of the webpage or website for which you want to check and count the social signals. The tool will then analyze the page and provide information on the number of social media shares, likes, and links for that page from various social media platforms such as Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr, and many more. Some tools may also provide information on the number of backlinks from other websites.
Why use it?
A social signal counter is a valuable tool for businesses and individuals looking to check their online presence. Social signals refer to the activity and engagement on your social media accounts, such as likes, shares, and comments. These signals are important because they indicate to search engines that your content is valuable and relevant, which can help increase your visibility and search engine rankings.
Why do we not show a social signal count for Twitter?
We do not go directly to any social media website to check post shares, likes, and comments. We use only API to check, but Twitter does not provide an official API to check websites tweeted.
