Set Your Social Media Goals

Are you having trouble getting started posting on social media for your business?

Many small businesses are so focused on having a social media presence they forget to set goals around why they are putting in the effort in the first place. It can be hard to start something without an end goal in mind.

To set your goals, think about what you want to accomplish with your posts. Here are some common social media goals for small businesses:

• Increase Brand Awareness

• Do people know who you are and how you can help them?

• What is unique about your business?

• Grow Your Audience

• Are you coming out with a new product or service?

• Do you have upcoming events?

• Boost Engagement

• Do you want people to respond to questions or polls?

• Do you have a group or community where people are interacting?

• Drive Traffic To Your Website

• Are people reading your content?

• Do you have a lead magnet to download?

Once you know why you are posting, it will be easier to set metrics around those goals and measure your progress. As the saying goes, “Strive for progress, not perfection.”
