There are social media optimization strategies that you can implement to help your business get found when people search for your product or services online.
One of these strategies is to ensure that your social media profile is optimized.
5 Tips to Optimize Your Social Media Profile
- Create unique social media profiles. That means that if you are in 5 social media sites, you need to create five unique social media profiles. Consider each social media profile as a block. Each block helps to define your brand, and each is part of your brand’s protective wall. Remember: avoid the urge to use a boilerplate (a.k.a. same-o, same-o. Vary it.
- Keep all your social media profiles current. Do not just create it, then forget it. Regularly go back to each profile and update it. Schedule it so you don’t get overwhelmed. When was the last time you checked your social media profiles?
- Use keywords for your business. Make the social media profile you are optimizing relevant to your brand and target market. You may include information about your adorable cats and dogs later — if there is space. 🙂
- Complete your profile. LinkedIn has 48.1% incomplete profiles according to a survey. Have you seen incomplete profiles on other social media platforms? I am sure you have come across some. There are many of those that may be already asking you to follow them.
- Include links to your other social media profiles. Include as many links as the social media platform would allow; and remember to use your keywords for your business. What I mean by that is this: instead of just entering your Facebook link and leaving it like that, describe it. Tell us what it is.
