Another innovation of social media over the past decade was the phenomenon MeetUp. It is an offline gathering of individuals with common interests who initially meet and interact with each other online. It remains the largest single facilitator of meetings with more than 9,000 groups who get together in local communities each day. It is also used as a very effective tool to accomplish a strategic number of business objectives with the goal of improving themselves or the community.

It is of no particular secret that MeetUp improve SEO or search engine rankings according to researchers. The best way to improve it is to make sure that your MeetUp Group’s page contains interesting and useful information about the group. The more specific information it provides, the better off you are.

MeetUps can be a particular challenge especially if a group decides to meet or is organizing an event. Here are some suggestions to make sure that invited guests will show up:

  • Use keywords in the location or on your MeetUp address. A customized web address is also useful as it will determine if search engines will display your group on the SERPs as a relevant result once people search for your topic.
  • Use other term for members in your group like an acronym or just a simple one as long as it reflects what the group is about.
  • Use a great headline. It is considered as the welcome or your default page. You don’t need to write a novel but just a relevant 100-character information of what your page is all about.

MeetUp is a great business and social media platform. Try to be consistent with your group. Remember that the more YES and ears you have, the more interesting you will be to the local media and beyond.

The good thing about this is you get to meet a group of like-minded individuals. Be careful, though, as some people may only be using dummy accounts to sell their own services. However you will, in many aspects and forms, learn new things quickly, get support to implement your projects and find financial and/or emotional partners for what you are trying to achieve.
