No no no, Social traffic is not considered as seo itself.
I have seen many sites getting benefit from it becaue social sharing brings audience, engagement and backlinks sometime which can help in SEO.

no but indirectly it will help. social media shares will bring u traffic on its own but can contribbute to the overall picture for SEO. for example when people find ur content via social media channels nd later look for ur website in the search engines, it will help u in some way.

Not directly. Social media traffic and organic search traffic are usually treated as separate acquisition channels.

No. It isn't part of SEO.

Social traffic can help indirectly, but I wouldn’t count it as a direct ranking factor. Good social reach can bring links, branded searches and returning visitors though.

Social media traffic isn't a direct ranking factor for organic SEO, but it's certainly important for an overall SEO campaign. This is because all platforms want to attract users from other platforms. When you leave a social media site to visit a website that ranks highly in Google search results, it's clear that Google has successfully taken away a certain amount of your time that you would otherwise spend on the other platform.
