In this guide, we’ll show you social media strategies that actually work — designed specifically for small businesses with limited time, budget, and resources.
Don’t try to be everywhere. Focus on 1–2 platforms where your audience already hangs out:
Plan your posts weekly or monthly. Include a mix of:
Pro Tip: Use free tools like Canva and Buffer to design and schedule posts in batches.
Respond to comments, DMs, and mentions. Ask questions in captions. Build relationships, not just sales pitches.
Ask happy customers to tag your business or share photos using your product or service. Reposting this content builds trust and credibility.
Tag your city, neighborhood, or local events in your posts and stories. Use location-specific hashtags to increase your visibility to nearby customers.
Even with a small budget, Facebook and Instagram ads can drive traffic and leads. Target based on interests, behavior, or local radius to reach your ideal customer.
Use Instagram Insights or Facebook Page Insights to track what posts get the most engagement. Double down on what performs well and adjust the rest.
