Google and Yahoo aren’t the only search engines that businesses should focus on. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Yelp and more also search engines and people use them to look up services online. I’m sure that you or anyone you know looked up stuff on social media. I bet you searched current events on Twitter/Facebook, looked up personal projects on Pinterest or Instagram, or searched for the best restaurants and repair shops on Yelp…  (and so on…)

 

That’s enough proof to say that your business’ profile on any social media platform can convert internet citizens or netizens into leads. To do that, you have to keep your social media updated, active, and prompt. That’s easier said than done, especially when your in-house marketing team is composed of a few people who already have a lot on their plate.
