Set up your Social Media Channels
If you are looking to make the most of the opportunities that come from social media traffic to your website, then you need to ensure that you have set up your social media channels.
Create your pages on the relevant social media channels and make sure that they are optimised. This includes ensuring that you have profile images, business information and calls to action buttons set up.
Consider the Content that your Audience Wants to See
Look at your audience and think about what content they want to see. Create a plan and draft the content ready for use.
If you are unsure on what content to post, look at your competitors, speak to customers and consider the content that you can produce based on any existing on site blogs and videos that you have.
Ensure that any Landing Pages Used are Optimised
If you are sharing content and encouraging people to click through to the blog page, the product itself, or any other pages that have the aim of converting the visitor. Then ensure that this page is optimised for conversion – ensure that there is a seamless flow between their experience on your social media channel and your website.
Keep it Going
Ensure that your social media channels are kept up to date and post regularly. Keep the momentum going with content that people want to engage with.
Don’t forget – be social on social media platforms. Engage with other people’s posts and participate In the community.
