Content Creation

Hello! I’m looking for any recommendations on services or apps that can help clean up a Business FB page. I’ve inherited a new page, and unfortunately the previous manager purchased followers, and now we need to go through 70k profiles. Appreciate any recommendations!

Hi! We recently had a few of our Google My Business profiles suspended. We haven’t made any changes, so I’m not sure why they got suspended. In order to submit a ticket to Google for any type of help or reconsideration, you must include the profile URL. However, the profile URL is unavailable on suspended accounts. So I’m stuck, unable to get any help on this. Has anyone experienced this before or have any advice? Thanks!

“You can assemble your brand’s content creation force in multiple ways. Each offers a distinct complement of pros, cons, and practical considerations. To determine the best contributor model – and decide whether to use it in combination with other approaches – weigh factors like the nature of your business, your content competition, expertise your content requires, and team and budget resources.” -- Content Marketing InstituteClick here to view models. 

Hi everyone!For those who are actively social monitoring, when a commenter tags another in their comment, do you respond to those comments? I’m fairly new in the monitoring realm of social (previously was working heavily in content creation, not monitoring) so I’d love to hear some insights. Part of me doesn’t want to interject two (or three) commenter’s conversations amongst our post, but I also want to acknowledge their comment. TIA!

Exceed your customers’ expectations and deliver responsive, tailored experiences on their communication channel of choice: social media.

Hi everyone, looking to pick someone's brain. I'm in the process of getting a new client in the Biotech industry specifically in Medical Equipment Manufacturing. I work at an agency so I have no control over who my agency takes on as new clients. I would love to discuss with someone who has worked in this industry before about LinkedIn. Thanks in advance. Or if you have any articles about this industry and social media, I'll accept any and all links. Thank you!

Hi all, I work for an NGO and recently had our Twitter ads account made ineligible to run ads as I posted an advert warning civilians of explosives in Ukraine but this has flagged up as inappropriate.  I’ve been in touch with Twitter Ads support, who said if I remove the violating content then they will review and unblock the account so I’ve deleted the ad that has been flagged on the account and asked them to review but the same standard email ‘please remove the violating content and we will review’ keeps coming back. I haven’t run any other ads for a while before so it definitely is this one advert that is flagging on the system. Anyone able to offer any other advice??

There’s no built in mechanism for A-B testing on Instagram so I’d love to hear how others have approached testing on this platform. For my use case, I’m interested in figuring out how to identify the hashtags that connect us with the right audiences and create new followers. We’ve been trying with different hashtags but are finding it difficult it differentiate between when a post was simply great vs. when the right hashtags were utilized.
