What to Avoid When Using Social Media Marketing for Local SEO
SEO experts have written many how-to guides on using social media marketing for local search engine optimization. What’s less written about
are these four common mistakes many businesses make.
“Read our latest blog.” Social media posts need to give people a reason to click through to your blog. A good approach is
creating short and captivating “teasers” that attract viewers and get them interested enough to want to learn more. It’s perfectly fine to
include a call to action to read the blog! But that on its own just isn’t enough.
Not including visuals. You might be promoting written content, but it’s engaging images that increase engagement. Research
shows posts on Facebook, for example, receive nearly a 90% interaction rate from readers.
Share information instead of telling a story. Social media channels are ideal for telling stories about your brand.
Customers love them and often return to them multiple times. That’s a much better result than what you get from boring cookie-cutter posts
that quickly fade into oblivion.
Not identifying a target audience before posting. You need to define, identify, and understand your local audience before
you can target them through social media. Who you want to appeal to, and target can be based on many things, including age, income level,
job, location, and more. What you want to focus on are the people most likely to be interested in your product or service.
