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.

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,...

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...

How to Manage Social Media for Business in Only 18 Minutes a Day

Many small business owners don’t have the bandwidth to manage social media accounts—let alone the budget to hire dedicated team members or a social media manager. But that doesn’t make social media management any less important. People expect to be able to connect with businesses on social platforms: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or even TikTok. Without an active presence, your company may be forgotten, lose customers to competition—or worse yet, look neglectful. Plus, you may be missing out on new customers. More than 40% of digital shoppers use social media to research new brands and products. For those who are short on time, we’ve put together an 18-minute plan.
