Social media moves fast and if your posts aren’t up to par, chances are they’ll do little to bring potential clients to your site. With a few simple changes to the way to create your posts, you can greatly improve your social media click-through rates.
Give Them a Reason to Click
For high social media click-through rates, keep your social media content closely connected to your website. Publish informative blog posts, videos and other content on your site, then draw on these for your social media posts. You might write up a blog post offering 10 tips for meeting green building standards affordably, then choose one tip to post on social media. If you have professional architectural photos taken of a project, create an online tour and choose one of the photos for your social media.
Get Visual
It’s not just Instagram and Pinterest where images are essential. No matter what platform you’re on, photos and graphics grab attention and often do more to pique interest than a short post can. Your would-be clients are more likely to click through when they see something in an image that intrigues them.
Try photos of completed projects, work in progress, before-and-after shots, and photos of your team working or just hanging out. Your pictures don’t always have to look like the work of a pro photographer, but they should be clear and sized correctly for the platform. Infographics and data visualization also help guide your followers to the content on your site.
Invite Interaction
Social media sites are so easy to scan through quickly that sometimes only a specific call to action can pull readers out of their browsing trance and onto your website. When you want readers to click through, tell them. If you post a fact from your whitepaper on residential modular construction, follow up with “Drop by our site to download the full whitepaper.” For a photo of your work in progress, try a simple “Come see more of our latest project.”
