    From my personal observation, the higher the facebook shares, likes, twitter shares my page has, the higher its rank on Google.
    I'd argue that the bigger effect is the residual buzz you get from twitter and facebook.

    If there is a great social buzz about your product, the average person would likely search for it. Given a receptive search engine strategy, you can easily capitalize on the increase in search traffic.

    A lot of SEO stat monitoring sites (like ahrefs.com for instance) keep track of shares on different social media sites since those are part of the Google algorithm for determining rank.

    if you will check your site analytics, you can see social media referral sites i.e. facebook, twitter. reddit, etc. They add up to your traffic because they allow you to reach more people to visit your sites through the contents you share.

    It definitely doesn't hurt to have social signals, but to really improve your SERPs you have to work on getting high quality backlinks from high authority sites.
