Implementing a social media strategy is one of the most time-consuming yet essential aspects of most companies’ digital marketing campaigns. Social media has the potential to influence how many people read your content, creating brand awareness and establishing brand authority. It acts as a place for potential customers to conduct research and understand your brand story and core values and it advertises your community to the world. What’s more, social media platforms have their own built-in search engines, so you need to make sure all social media accounts have perfectly optimized profiles.
Most small and medium-sized businesses simply don’t have the resources to invest in developing a social media marketing campaign, but working with a social media agency gives you the benefit of an entire marketing department for a fraction of the cost. Partnering with a social media management company like Lead to Conversion™ is the best way to make the most of all these benefits.
A Social Media Marketing Plan Connects You With Real People
A social media campaign is essential for taking your online presence to the next level. As all modern business operators know, long-lasting relationships are the key to success, and this includes relationships with your target audience and those with other companies, influencers and other partners in your network. By responding to current and potential customers on social media, you can connect on a human level and inspire trust and loyalty.
Using social networks to organically build relationships with authoritative partners in your social media network is one of the key reasons to establish social media marketing efforts on specific social media platforms. Influencer marketing and business partnerships allow you to share audiences with relevant organizations and individuals, as well as offering opportunities for link building.
Social Media Networks Expand the Market Reach of Your Business’s Content
One of the most obvious reasons to create strategic social media content is for the purposes of generating likes and shares. Likes and shares get your content in front of people who’ve never heard of, searched for or realized they might need to know about your company. This is a powerful benefit of your social media pages that can’t be done anywhere else online.
Likewise, partnering with related noncompetitors in your field provides one of the best opportunities to reach people in your target audience you wouldn’t otherwise have access to.
Social Media Campaigns Establish Brand Recognition
Content marketing, search engine optimization (SEO) and organic social media marketing are all interconnected in an effective social strategy. Writing blog posts and articles about your industry is one of the best ways to establish your brand as an authoritative source, along with implementing a link-building strategy. When someone searches for an answer online and a piece you’ve written answers it, you’ve added value to that person’s life and let them know that you know what you’re talking about.
Creating and sharing content regularly across multiple channels is important, but you also need to know exactly when and how frequently to post and share. Too often and you’ll be perceived as spammy; not enough and you won’t appear in search results.
THE LTC PROCESS
Social SEO is highly complex because social media doesn’t influence search engine rankings in the way you might expect. Generating likes, shares and followers can be easily manipulated, so Google doesn’t use these social cues to determine where you land on search engine results pages. Too many companies make the mistake of thinking this means a solid social media presence isn’t essential, but this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Let’s take a look at how the social media specialists at Lead to Conversion™ approach social media advertising campaigns.
