Social media marketing has become a necessity for many site owners and SEO professionals. These days everyone seems to be turning to their mobile phones and tablets more than sitting at their laptops and computers. With a variety of apps available, mobile phone usage is on the rise. The same goes for the SEO professionals using social media marketing on the go. Marketers and site owners are now able to take their favorite SEO tools with them by using various apps for keeping up on their social media marketing. Here are 10 apps that all professionals should have to stay connected.

Social Networking Apps:

Instead of listing them individually, I will just group it together. Any social network worth joining has its own app. Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and even LinkedIn have mobile apps that let you stay connected. Use them to keep up with conversations, tweets, followers, and friends. Post the latest news, pictures, or specials.

Check It:

If you are list maker then you know the importance of staying organized. Check It is an app that allows you to create a “to do” list and check it off as you complete each task. You can plan reminders for everything and anything and is perfect when you need to plan your social media marketing. Create a list of posts for the day, analytics to monitor, or even create a grocery list.

Flickr:

Thousands of people and millions of photos can be found on Flickr. This app allows you to browse and share photos on the go. If you need an image for one of your posts, find it on Flickr, download it, and use it on your social network.

Flipboard:

This fast and stylish app allows you to see all the news, picture, video and updates from your social networks in an easy to navigate magazine style layout. You can even get updates from your favorite publications, blogs, and sites, to easily share with your friends and followers.

HomeBase:

This is a must have app for those on several different social networks. You can blast your updates, pictures and links to all of your networks instantly through one app. With HomeBase there is no longer a need to sign into each social media app and recreate the update over and over. Create it once and send it through them all instantly.

HootSuite for Twitter:

Use this elegant app for Twitter, Facebook and FourSquare. HootSuite allows you to connect and converse from anyway. Use it to send and schedule posts, track click stats, and monitor keywords, #hashtags and lists. A small but powerful app for anyone socially connected to their SEO.

PitchEngine:

This fast app allows companies and businesses get the word out. It is a social networking app with only one mission, to get your message to as many people as possible. Use it to give updates on products or services, direct them to your other social networks, or just keep them informed about your company or site.
