Want to know a social media marketing secret that shouldn’t be a secret?! 🤐 When you use a 3rd party link in your bio you lose credit for your hard work & diligent posting!Let me explain 👇👇Did you know that search engines take “referral traffic” into consideration when they determine what businesses to rank in the top 3 spots? When you post on social media and people click from your profile to your website, you created a backlink and referral that helps with search engine optimization! 🚀 However, when we route through something like Link Tree, we unfortunately do not get that same credit. 🥹 You deserve credit for showing up on the socials! 🏆 Don’t get me wrong. I previously used Link Tree as well, but now Instagram allows you to list multiple URLs directly in your bio. And… as seen in this Reel we created a SECRET PAGE on @fullbushelfarm’s website so that she gets ALL the credit for her referral traffic. 🏆 Curious how we did this?! Stay tuned for more videos! Want to know right away?! 🚀 DM me SEO to learn more. 🚀

Mama Mountain’s Long Hard Stare
I can’t stop thinking about how Mama Mountain Lion took a long, hard stare right at us. 🙀
It was a surreal moment of fascination, fear and reverence. The footage is a rare opportunity to share a snippet of Mother Nature’s private life.
Our commentary is laced with expletives, but this feels like the appropriate use of them…yeah?! 😉 Thanks @ejplantain for capturing this footage, while I held the bear spray. 🙏 Thanks Madame Mountain Lion for sharing this moment with us, and safely exiting along the game trail. 😻

Reflecting On What Inspired Me To Start A Social Media Consulting Company
I'm reflecting back on the early days of starting my company, almost 5 years ago. This was one feature about social media that inspired me to work in the social media realm, not just marketing as a whole. ✨
I'm often curious about how small business owners got started in their specific industries. I'd love to hear your story!
I just analyzed the stats on a super successful influencer campaign we ran for a client. The results:
✅ web traffic way up!
✅ sales to new customers
✅ 938 new & engaged followers
Have you tried influencer or ambassador marketing yet?
