Social Media Marketing for Auto Repair Shops (Complete Guide)

I’ve had the same conversation with enough shop owners now that I can usually see it coming before they finish the first sentence. Someone tells me they know they should be doing more with social media. They just haven’t gotten around to it, or they tried it for a few weeks last year and let it slide. I never push back on that part. What I tell them instead is that they’re already sitting on the one thing most businesses spend months trying to manufacture: proof. You fix real cars, in front of real customers, every single day. Social media marketing for auto repair shops isn’t about inventing content. It’s about pointing a phone at what’s already happening in your bay. Despite this the 2022 Ratchet+Wrench Industry Survey found that 20 percent of shop owners have no social media accounts at...

How to Create a Social Media Marketing Strategy for Business

Jumping into social media marketing for the first time? You’re definitely not alone. As of late 2025, there are 5.6 billion people on social media, which is approximately two-thirds of the global population, and over 90% of the global internet users.  With numbers like that, it’s clear why brands of all sizes are eager to get a piece of the action.  But here’s the catch: social media marketing can sometimes feel like a giant puzzle where everyone wants to be seen. But given the huge competition on social platforms, mass visibility for businesses certainly becomes a challenge.  This is where the need for a smart social media marketing strategy can help you cut through the noise, focus on the right platforms, and speak to the right audience.

How Can SEO and Social Media Work Together to Boost Organic Traffic

Many marketers treat SEO and social media as separate channels, but this siloed approach leaves significant growth opportunities on the table. While social media signals don’t directly influence Google rankings, the relationship between SEO and social media creates powerful indirect benefits that can dramatically increase organic traffic. Does social media affect SEO? The answer is nuanced. Social platforms don’t pass traditional ranking signals to search engines, but they amplify content reach, generate backlinks, increase branded searches, and accelerate content indexing. When you strategically integrate SEO and social media, you create a compounding effect that strengthens both channels. This guide explains exactly how SEO and social media work together, clarifies common misconceptions,...

Is Australia’s Teen Social Media Ban Actually Working?

The Australian government continues to claim that its teen social media ban has been a big success, with more than 4.7 million accounts believed to be operated by teens either deactivated or restricted since the implementation of the new laws last month. And that is a big amount, especially in a country with a population of only 28 million people. Meta alone says that it’s removed 544k accounts in accordance with the new rules, while Snapchat reportedly had around 440k users aged between 13 and 15 in its app. But is the teen social media ban really working, or have Australian teens just worked out how to avoid the new restrictions, and are therefore still accessing their favorite apps? Well, I’m in Australia, so I can ask them, and while the responses I can gather on my own are anecdotal,...

7 Proven Ways to Convert Social Media Followers into Customers

An Ultimate Guide to Social Media Influencers: From Why to How?

Influencer marketing has rapidly become a key strategy for many marketers. In fact, 80% of marketers now have a specific budget set aside for influencer campaigns.

How WordPress Media Management Can Be Improved

If you want to know what frustrates WordPress users, just ask. Recently I put out a call on Twitter for recommended improvements to its media management features.

It’s another example of the WordPress community stepping up to fill gaps in the core software. S...
