Top 10 March 2022 Social Media Updates
Optimize Your Profiles
Your brand’s social media pages are often the first impression someone gets from your business. We can’t emphasize this enough — optimizing your social profiles is imperative to instilling brand trust in customers and prospects alike.
Your profiles should be fully optimized and contain all the information someone needs to know about your business — a link to your website, appropriately sized cover photos, and branded profile photos.
