Four Social Media Optimisation Tips That Will Improve Your Online Presence
Imperion InfomediaMost individuals are curious about SMO, or social media optimization.
Social media optimization (SMO) services is an ongoing activity that will never be finished. Those that supply SMO services to clients understand that it is a trip to a destination rather than a goal in and of itself. To achieve four major goals, social media optimization services must be effectively incorporated into your entire branding plan.
- Lead generation for brand building
- Giving you increased internet presence and
- connecting you directly with your target audience
There are four trade secrets that, if tried, will never let you down in your social media optimization efforts. Let's talk about them in this blog today.
Hot Tip No. 1: Improve Your Business Profile
According to a recent analysis conducted by Ascend2, a research-based marketing firm, 50 percent of organizations that aren't thriving with SMO services aren't embracing social media marketing. This is a missed opportunity since, when used appropriately, social media can improve your company's profile or market standing. A good mix of SEO and SMO is required for success in the online realm.
Dominique Jackson writes for Sprout Social in Social Media Optimization: 6 Tips to Steal from SEOs, "Think of your company's profile page as your foundation." It's difficult to build anything on top of a poor foundation. "Here's what it takes to lay a solid foundation."
Jackson believes that three factors are critical in maximizing your business's presence on various social media channels:
This is your company logo on your profile photo.
Use your company name as your username. You may use a site like Knowem to see whether your company's name is already in use on various social media networks; if so, you may need to adopt a new name.
Bio: Clearly express what your firm performs in your bio. Make use of important keywords and include a link to your website.
Hot Tip #2: Only use original content.
Nowadays, authenticity is everything. It is more probable that your social media post content and creativity will assist the business if it is unique. When content is copied from another source, it loses its allure and efficacy.
Jackson is OK with employing a combination of original and curated content as long as you are cautious with the attributions in the case of the curated content.
In the following campaign, Litmus Branding used Surf Excel's well-known DaagAccheHai to connect it to Asian Paints' value statement. This is an excellent example of popular curated information credited to the appropriate source to drive home a different message:
You may utilise Sprout Social's sent messages report to discover which of your posts are receiving the most interaction across all of your channels. Once you've discovered them, you can begin posting material that is comparable to theirs.
Another thing you should do with both original and curated material is to "Test your Headline."
Using a question or a statistic is a great way to get people's attention right away. For maximum optimization, use a term in the headline.
Last but not least, Jackson suggests using Relevant
Hot Tip 3: Your Posting Schedule Is Important
When and how you post your material is equally crucial in terms of optimising your social media content. The main question here is not how much you should pay, but when you should upload your material.
Don't ask us why, but the Constant Contact study provides the following math on posting frequency:
- 3-10 times each week on Facebook
- Twitter: 5 or more times each day
- 2-5 times per week on LinkedIn
- 5-10 times each day on Pinterest
Even so, don't go overboard, as Samantha Rupert writes in How Often Should Businesses Post on Social Media? "On social media, consistency often counts more than frequency" (2019).
Because LinkedIn is a serious business network, our study recommends that you should publish at least 20 times per month, or once per business day, to reach 60 percent of your target audience on the platform.
The situation is different with Twitter. You may easily publish 5-10 times each day, but try to spread them out throughout the day and keep in mind that Twitter users are most active between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Hot Tip 4: Use Social Media Analytics to Monitor and Improve
Finally, what cannot be quantified cannot be managed. SMO initiatives, like social media services, must be measured using social media analytics, according to Jackson. Some people rely on Google Analytics and UTM codes, which are just abbreviated URLs that allow you to observe how much traffic your website receives from social media through a given channel or campaign. To gain a complete view of the impact of a social media campaign, some people use social media marketing tools like Buffer.
According to Jackson, Avinash Kaushik's four social media metrics, which are based on four characteristics, are a terrific place to start.
Conversation Rate: The average number of comments and responses received by your postings.
Amplification is the average number of shares and retweets received by your content.
Applause: The average amount of "votes" received by your posts (+1, favourites, likes), and lastly
