Here’s a quick summary:

1. You don’t need to be on every single platform that’s out there. It’s better to focus on the ones your customers are on.

2. You shouldn’t send out automated messages to everyone who follows you. It makes you look inauthentic.

3. There is a limit to how much you should post. More isn’t always better.

4. There’s a lot of obvious SPAM reviews out there. Don’t feel the need to respond to every single one if it’s obviously fake.

5. It’s okay to occasionally get personal on your business pages. Believe it or not, sometimes your customer does want to get to know who you are.

6. Getting reviews is essential for so many reasons. If you aren’t automatically getting them, then don’t be afraid to ask nicely.
