SMO Social Media Optimization & Marketing
All About social media marketing.
It’s the 21st century and by now, you’ve probably realized where social media sits within your marketing mix.
You may be starting up a new business and not be sure how you should be using SMO social media, or you might have been around and had quite a few different SMO social media managers login to your Instagram over the last few years with barely any result. It truly can be difficult to hire good social media freelancer or manager, because social requires a very broad skill set. It’s a mixture of tech, design, writing, analytics and soft skills. Most of all, we need to be able to work fast and in a very responsive way.
So if you’ve found you’ve put your design agency, or your copywriter on smo social media and they haven’t gotten you the numbers you want – it may be that their skills are too specialized to be an effective social media manager. I’ve been working on SMO social media pages and campaigns for years, and believe me, I’ve seen it all. I also work in a variety of ways; from full social content creation and management to just overseeing and training juniors.
So if you’re feeling bored and uninspired by your SMO social media optimization, aren’t sure if you do or don’t need it, or any other kind of issue and you simply need advice, I also offer marketing consultations.
