5 Tips for Digital Spring Cleaning

 

With the industry waking up and clients ready to book, now is the perfect time to spruce up your social media profiles. I have five tips to get you started today:

1. Profile Pictures

 A logo is appropriate for a big agency main page, but for an individual agent’s page, there is so much value in clients being able to see you!  Your photo will make an impact when

  • It was taken recently

  • Your face is clear, not in shadows or out of focus

  • You are the only person in the photo

2. Facebook Page Info

On Facebook, make sure all the “Page Info” section is up-to-date. Look over your:

  • Description

  • Business Hours

  • Privacy Policy

  • Products (here I list my specialties)

 3. Add a website link to your Instagram profile 

Make this a call to action to make it easy for followers to connect with you. Some things it can link to:

  • Quote request form

  • Agency website

  • Lead magnet

  • Your blog

  • Your Facebook Business page

4. Make the most out of your Instagram bio

With only 155 characters, you need to make this area count.

  • Followers want to know who you are and why they should pay attention to you

  • Include a call to action

  • Use emojis

  • Type out separate lines to make it easier to read

5. Utilize Instagram’s Public Business Info section

In the app, click “Edit Profile”

  • If you haven’t already, link your Facebook business page to your Instagram profile

  • Select a category

  • Add in the contact options; this will activate the contact buttons for the public

I know, this is a lot to take in. Would you like a link to my video lessons and PDF checklists for these tips?   Click here for a free sign-up to access the videos.
