A message from James Pahl – Community Manager of ShopSpruceGrove.com & ShopStonyPlain.com ...Many business owners using our marketing platforms of ShopSpruceGrove.com or ShopStonyPlain.com do not post regular updates on their business profiles on our sites. Here are some simple strategies that will assist you.
The following are questions for business owners and the individuals responsible for posting social media content: (1) Would you agree that Instagram users are primarily interested in “pictures” and not necessarily in the message so much? Most likely you will agree yes, that is true.
(2) Now regards Twitter users; would you agree these people are “words and messages” people? Most likely you will agree yes, that is true.
(3) Finally, Facebook users; would you agree they like “messages” but also want them “illustrated”? Again, most likely you will agree yes, that is true.
Try these strategies when posting with either of our platforms or otherwise: When the purpose of your post is the picture itself and the words are merely explaining the picture start on Instagram and syndicate to Facebook, and leave out Twitter.
When the point of the post is the message, start on your business profile with either of our platforms and syndicate to Facebook and Twitter, and leave out Instagram. *
Following these strategies with every post you make takes the same amount of effort – one source and syndication; but you will now have a variety of content regards your business services and products. The social media users get what they prefer, and your messages are going somewhere so that search engines will index them and your key words will add to your overall digital presence.
*NOTE: - In order for your Busines Profile on ShopSpruceGrove.com to syndicate you need at least our Intro Pkg. ($50 per month)
- Currently our platforms can sydicate to Facebook and Twitter, but not to Instagram.
- When posting from Facebook on its own your messages are not indexed by search engines, primarily Google. Google is god of the Internet, so when using the platforms ShopSpruceGrove.com or ShopStonyPlain.com your posts will now be indexed and recognized by Google, so when anyone searches for similar content your message will be in their search results. Our platforms enhance your SEO.
