Own your audience

Here's the bigger lesson from Facebook's link limits: your followers aren't really yours. 💡

The platform decides who sees your posts, what you can link to and what it costs. Today it's links. Tomorrow it could be something else.

The final part of my series looks at building marketing you own: your website, your email list, your Google Business Profile and even a bit of print. Social media then becomes the shop window, not the whole shop.

Should you pay for Meta One?

To pay or not to pay?

With Meta One subscriptions reported at around £42 to £419 a month for Facebook links, it's a fair question. For some businesses it'll pay for itself. For others, the money is better spent elsewhere.

My latest blog walks you through how to decide: what to look at in your own numbers, when ads might be better value, and when I'd hold off.

Ever wondered what's inside the Sort Your Socials Profile Playbook?

Here's a sneak peek!

Your social media profile is like your shop window. It's often the first impression people get of your business, so it needs to work hard for you.

The Profile Playbook walks you through it step by step, so you can:

✅ Write a bio that tells people exactly what you do
✅ Make sure your profile looks professional and on-brand
✅ Give people a clear next step, whether that's booking, buying or getting in touch

No jargon, no overwhelm. Just simple, practical worksheets you can work through at your own pace.

📘 £25 + VAT, and you can download it straight away.

I try to practice what I preach!

Yesterday's funded Immediate Impact focused on Google Business Profile and the importance of "asking for reviews", so I did it during the training and received some lovely ones, thanks all.

Once I have them I reply (good practice) and use this wonderful evergreen content to share across my profiles.

Ta - da!

Thanks for all your questions, look forward to seeing you all again at the next session.

Any support, you need please do let me know. Happy to assist in a Powerhour or Nurture package. Message me further details.

For years, posting a link to your website on your page has been free. You might not have reached everyone, but you could share as many links as you liked.

You don't need to be on every platform. Honestly.

I hear it all the time: "I know I should be on TikTok… and Threads… and LinkedIn… and YouTube…"

And then everything gets done half-heartedly, or not at all.

Here's the thing. It's far better to do one or two platforms well than five badly.

Start by asking yourself:

✨ Where are my customers actually spending time?
✨ What can I realistically keep up with each week?
✨ Which platform suits the way I like to share? (Chatty? Visual? Professional?)

For lots of local businesses, that's Facebook plus Google Business Profile. For others, it's Instagram or LinkedIn. There's no one right answer, just the right one for you.

Pick your platforms, show up consistently, and give yourself permission to ignore the rest.

Not sure where to focus? Drop me a message and we'll work it out together.
