3 Tips When Setting Up Social Media

1- Secure Your Handle:

Before setting up your social media platforms we always suggest doing a search first. Search the search engines and social media putting in different variations of your company name. You never know who had the handle name or something similar prior to you. Open all the social media platforms that you are looking to join and try to simultaneously search and secure. Be sure to set the accounts up by adding all the pertinent information about your company. Business name, address, phone numbers, website, description and anything else that is important and you want your visitors to see. Try not to leave any blank fields.

2- Link To Your Website:

Once all your profiles are secure and set up you can add them to your website. If you have a web design company that can apply them to your website that would be helpful. Another great feature to add to your website is a social media feed. This will display your recent posts directly on your desired web page. You can set this feature to display every-time you post automatically.

3- Set Up All Platforms At Once:

Setting up all your profiles at once with help with consistency. If you set them up at separate times this will increase the chance that you might not receive the name you desire. If you join each account at the same time then customize your profile at a later date that is fine.
