Which is more important for business point of view in between search engine vs social media ?

[MSL]

 According to the traffic: take the TOP 3 search engines and the TOP 3 social medias. Calculate the search engines' traffic and the social medias traffic. Then you'll see which one is more important. More traffic (i. e. more people) = more potential business.

Moved to the SEO board. I can't get it -- why a thread about SEs and Social medias was in the Health board?

And an on-topic answer. There is no need to VS. them. It should be SEs AND Social medias -- SEO and SMO. Of course it depends of what your business is about. We do prefer the SEs. Just because Google has more traffic than Facebook. Baidu more than Reddit. Yahoo more than Twitter... And it's easier to have SEs' traffic than to waste time dealing with accounts in the Social medias. All you need to get SEs' traffic is some white SEO and a lot of green SEO; just develop your website and the SEs are doing the rest.

Almost two-thirds of consumers research products before buying them through search engines, I’d bet that the social media savvy ones will check out the top results on social media. I know that, when I come across a new company that I haven’t heard of, I will also go check out their Facebook page and Twitter account to see if they are active in their customer service.
