Twitter Cards, you can attach rich photos, videos and media experience to Tweets that drive traffic to your website. Simply add a few lines of HTML to your webpage, and users who Tweet links to your content will have a “Card” added to the Tweet that's visible to all of their followers.

For small business blogs, Twitter cards can be great for online brand development. Similar to rich snippets in search engine results, the enhanced layout makes the account’s tweets more noticeable and engaging, causing their links to appear more legitimate, thereby reducing consumers’ hesitancy to click through. This treatment likely will correlate to increased click-throughs.

However, if you need more incentive, your enhanced tweets could also be beneficial for SEO. Some tweet pages get indexed by search engines, and the Twitter Card contents get indexed with them. Sure, the links on these pages are nofollowed, so PageRank will not flow. However, nofollow doesn’t necessarily apply to social signals, and these pages could also convey local citation value in some cases. (Local citations are a ranking factor for Google Local Searches.)

If retweets or Author Rank influence rankings are associated with your account, then a more attractive and engaging tweet treatment may help beef up your ranking ability over time. The added text or image content will certainly make the Twitter status pages more effective in and of themselves.
