      I saw many website link https://buyfok.com/ which sell social media followers like instagram, facebook followers and likes.

      I was thinking to increase my social followers/signals for SEO purpose. That's why I want to ask, how these websites followers will affect in SEO?

        It will do zilch. For one, you should never buy followers/likes - what is the point other than to inflate your following count?

        Social media is all about engagement. It's better to have a small number of followers who like, comment and share rather than thousands. Social media's part of SEO is to help encourage your community to like, comment and share your blog articles and web pages. It's an amplification tool to get your content in front of more eyes online and to hopefully encourage natural link building.

        I'd suggest having a read of this: https://moz.com/blog/battle-for-traffic-organic-vs-social-media

        Good luck!

          Just don't!!!!

          Buying in an unnatural number of new followers which causes a significant one off spike which will be seen as fake and more thank likely hinder your efforts than help. As per Casey, concentrate on your content, make it unique, high quality and link worthy. This will in turn attract new natural shares, likes and links. These likes and shares will also put your content in front of like minded people in similar demographics with similar interests.

          Cheers
