Why Social Media Still Matters
At AIM Internet, we’ve spent over 25 years helping businesses grow through data-driven digital marketing—and social media plays a key role. Whether you’re in manufacturing, B2B services, or e-commerce, social platforms are vital for building relationships, boosting website traffic, and generating leads.
But without a clear plan, social media can waste time and deliver little ROI. That’s why we work with businesses like yours to turn scattered posting into strategic campaigns that support measurable growth.
1. Optimise Your Profile
Your profile is often your customer’s first impression. We make sure it reflects your brand clearly and professionally.
- Add a high-quality, branded profile photo
- Write a keyword-rich bio that explains what you do
- Include links and CTAs to encourage conversions
- Keep your contact information consistent across platforms
This builds credibility and helps users find and trust your business faster.
2. Use the Right Hashtags
Hashtags improve content discoverability, especially on platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, and X.

3. Plan Your Content Strategically
We help clients build a tailored content plan that aligns with their goals.
- Define your brand voice and content pillars (e.g. testimonials, tips, promos)
- Create a posting calendar to stay consistent
- Align social posts with SEO and paid campaigns
- Ensure visual and written content reflects your core message
Planning saves time, improves results, and reduces stress.
4. Post Consistently
We recommend a cadence that fits your audience and sector.
- Instagram/LinkedIn: 3–5 times/week
- Facebook: 2–3 times/week
- X: daily or multiple times/day
We use scheduling tools to maintain consistency, even during busy periods. Algorithms reward regular activity, and so does your audience.
5. Drive Real Engagement
Social isn’t just a broadcast tool—it’s a two-way conversation. We help you:
- Encourage interaction with questions, polls, and CTAs
- Respond quickly to comments and DMs
- Tag relevant people or businesses
- Feature user-generated content where appropriate
The more your audience engages, the more visibility your brand gains.
6. Use Analytics to Improve
We use platform analytics and third-party tools to track:
- Post performance by format and topic
- Best posting times and days
- Follower growth and engagement metrics
- Click-throughs and conversion rates
Data lets us fine-tune your content strategy to maximise ROI.
7. Think Long-Term
Social media isn’t a quick fix. We help clients take the long view by:
- Building consistent messaging and brand voice
- Learning from audience feedback
- Evolving your content based on results
- Integrating social with your SEO, email, and PPC strategies
We focus on long-term engagement—not vanity metrics.
8. Link Social to Your Core Marketing Strategy
Social media should work alongside the rest of your digital efforts.
- Drive traffic to your SEO-optimised pages
- Promote lead magnets to grow email lists
- Amplify blog content or video campaigns
- Retarget social traffic with Google Ads
At AIM Internet, we help businesses integrate social seamlessly into their full digital strategy.
