Be seen. Be heard. Be found.
This one comes up a fair bit with our clients. So ... AI-generated content won't get you in trouble with the algorithms of platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn. In fact, AI tools can be a (not so) secret weapon in your content arsenal. Think of them as your tireless assistants, helping you brainstorm captivating captions, write compelling blog post outlines, or even draft engaging scripts for your videos. Just remember to always review and add your unique human touch to ensure the content truly reflects your brand voice and resonates with your audience. After all ... you are writing your content for humans!
The rumours of organic reach's demise have been doing the rounds a fair bit lately.
While it's true that social media platforms prioritise content from friends and family, that doesn't mean your business can't get a piece of the pie. By consistently posting high-quality (useful) content that provides genuine value to your audience, using relevant keywords to improve searchability, and actively engaging with your followers, you can still achieve a respectable organic reach. Don't underestimate the power of authentic connection and community building!
Think likes, comments, and shares are just for show?
Engagement metrics are far from vanity metrics. They're valuable indicators of how your content is performing and what resonates with your audience. Pay close attention to these metrics to understand which types of posts spark conversations, drive traffic to your website, and ultimately contribute to your business goals. Use this data to refine your content strategy and deliver more of what your audience loves.
While it's true that platforms like
TikTok and Instagram Reels have put short-form video in the spotlight, don't discount the power of other content formats.
A well-rounded content strategy includes a mix of eye-catching images, informative and engaging text-based posts, and yes, even longer-form videos when appropriate. The key is to understand your audience's preferences and diversify your content to keep them interested and coming back for more.
We bang on about this all of the time - but having a strategy, regardless of your business size is super important to make sure your resources are going to the right place.
While timing can be a factor in social media success, it's not the be-all and end-all. Don't get bogged down trying to pinpoint the exact "best" time to post. Instead, focus on consistency and quality. Develop a regular posting schedule that you can realistically maintain, and prioritise creating content that your audience will find
valuable and engaging. Experiment with different posting times to see what works best for your specific audience and adjust your strategy accordingly.
