Does your business or company need a social media health check? Use our guide to find out

It’s common practice these days to know how to write a status on Facebook, tweet and hashtag, post to Instagram and even record live snippets of your life and upload them to the internet. The internet and social media have become a new type of language and if not practised daily, it can be very easy to fall behind. This is largely because of the ferocious speed that technology changes and develops; meaning what you knew yesterday might not work today. And where money and profit is concerned, this can be crucial.

Facebook’s recent algorithm change is one such example where companies and businesses alike have had to completely alter their posting behaviour in a bid to keep their online communities interested and engaged with their content. The ‘new’ way of posting to Facebook favours organic engagement, so your company will be penalised and pushed further down the feed if you’re posting any spam-like content. What was engaging content a year ago is now background chatter; organic reach is becoming a challenge; Instagram is on the rise, while Snapchat’s popularity is waning and the dominance of video is just beginning.
