Does Social Media Drive Traffic to Your Website?

When you talk about Digital Marketing one of the things comes to mind right off the bat is social media even though it is a broad field, including attracting customers via email, content marketing, search platforms as well as social media.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram and others are what are considered the larger term of social media. This is what we will concentrate on this blog.

Like I say on our Social Media page…

 “Your website is your store front to the world and your blog is the hub of how you communicate to that world.”

“Social media is the Electronic Word of Mouth that helps you connect to that world. All three have a very important part to play to promote You, Your Business, Church or Non-profit Organization.” 

Look at social media as your word-of-mouth.

Your social networking will allow you to interact with others and build relationships and help people become familiar with products you and your business has to offer.

Many people confuse social media as being just that… social or a place to connect for family and friends but when it comes to business it becomes something entirely different.

Setting up different social media accounts should be strictly business oriented using the name of your business.

Each one of these platforms are set up differently and so is the way you attract or find potential customers to like your pages or boards. 

Which one is best for you?

 That depends on many factors that you will have to analyze for yourself and your Brand.

All social media’s attract different types of people and it may take time to figure out which ones are best for you and your business.

Connect to it and then build a following.

Building that following and add posts as you go along.

Give it two weeks until you feel comfortable and make sure you interact from time to time.

After a period of time select a second and a third social media going through the same procedure.

On your website make sure you have installed social media icons that will connect from your website to that social media.

Be sure to blog on your website.

Blogging is important for a number of reasons.

1.)  It gives you a chance to establish credibility with potential customers. You can go into more detail on the services you offer.

2.) Blogs should have good titles and SEO. If it is done correctly that blog will reach just as much as your website pages on Google, Bing and Yahoo search engines.

3.) You can share your blog on your social media. Be sure to have a strong featured image on the blog because that photo will follow your blog everywhere on social media.
