Google Ads or Facebook Ads
Google and Facebook are among the most widely used platforms on the internet. If you are going to advertise your product or service, learn which platform is right for you.
Both platforms use an auction to determine when and where your ads are shown. They also offer ad targeting to specific demographics and geographic locations. The differences between the platforms mainly lie with user intent. On Google, ads appear based on specific search terms whereas on Facebook ads appear based on your interests and behaviors .
Have you tried out paid ads on either Google or Facebook? Like most things with digital marketing, a good overall strategy and plan gets you results.
Should You Tag or Mention on Instagram?
Mentioning an account, tagging an account, location tags, and product tags are all referred to as “tags”. So, what’s the difference between them and how should you be using them?
You can mention another account by simply putting the @ symbol with the account name. You can tag an account by tapping on the photo while you’re editing. Location tags link to a specific area and product tags link to items for sale on your shopping website.
Tags are a great way to get your organization found on Instagram. It’s also considered good social media etiquette to give credit where it is due, especially if you’re sharing someone else’s content.
