      If indeed Google does use social signals for ranking factors, how would you go about using Instagram for SEO (if it's even possible)?

      Thanks

        Social signals are not strong ranking factors, at least not yet.  The only social network that has direct impact on rankings is Google+.  Twitter activity has been correlated with rankings, but the results are debatable (although Twitter is great for getting new content indexed).

        It is impossible to get followed backlinks from Instagram, so it has no direct impact for SEO per se.  However, it can still be a great way to build up your brand, build an audience, and gain free organic traffic.
