With the industry waking up and clients ready to book, now is the perfect time to spruce up your social media profiles.
I have five tips to get you started today:
#1 Profile Pictures
A logo is appropriate for a big agency main page, but for an individual agent’s page, there is so much value in clients being able to see you! The photo should be:
- Recent
- Your face should be clear, not in shadows or out of focus
- You should be the only person in the photo
#2 Facebook Page Info
On Facebook, make sure all the “Page Info” section is up-to-date, look over your:
- Description
- Business Hours
- Privacy Policy
- Products (here I list my specialties)
# 3 Add a website link to your Instagram profile
Make this a call-to-action to make it easy for followers to connect with you. Some things it can link to:
- Quote request form
- Agency website
- Lead magnet
- Your blog
- Your Facebook Business page
#4 Make the most out of your Instagram bio
With only 155 characters, you need to make this area count.
- Followers want to know who you are and why they should pay attention to you
- Include a call to action
- Use emojis
- Type out separate lines to make it easier to read
#5 Utilize Instagram’s Public Business Info section
In the app, click “Edit Profile”
- If you haven’t already, link your Facebook business page to your Instagram profile
- Select a category
- Add in the contact options; this will activate the contact buttons for the public

Experts say only 20% of success is based on skills or knowledge. The other 80% is mindset.
