Posting randomly on social media won’t grow your brand—you need a strategy. A clear plan helps you reach the right audience, create engaging content, and turn followers into real customers.
A successful social media strategy isn’t just about posting often—it’s about consistency, engagement, and tracking results. With the right approach, your social media can boost brand awareness, generate leads, and drive sales.
Why a Social Media Strategy Matters
Without a strategy, social media is just guesswork. Posting without a plan leads to low engagement, inconsistent branding, and wasted time. A strong social media strategy helps you:
🟢 Increase brand awareness – Consistently showing up builds recognition and trust.
🟢 Drive engagement – Posts that speak to your audience encourage likes, comments, and shares.
🟢 Convert followers into customers – With the right content and calls to action (CTAs), social media can generate leads and sales.
🟢 Save time – A content plan makes posting easier and more efficient.
If your social media isn’t driving results, it’s time to build a strategy that works.
Step 1: Set Clear Goals
Your social media goals should align with your business objectives. Do you want to increase brand awareness, generate leads, or drive sales? Common goals include:
🟢 Growing your audience – Increasing followers and reach to expand brand awareness.
🟢 Boosting engagement – Encouraging likes, shares, and comments to build community.
🟢 Driving traffic to your website – Using social media to direct potential customers to your products or services.
🟢 Generating leads and sales – Turning social media followers into paying customers.
Example: Phoenix Health & Safety
Before working with Rubi.Agency, Phoenix Health & Safety had low engagement and inconsistent posting. Their goal was to increase brand awareness and generate more leads for their training courses. By setting clear goals, we helped them build a structured content plan that boosted engagement and increased course sign-ups.
Step 2: Know Your Audience
You can’t create great content if you don’t know who you’re talking to. Define your target audience by identifying:
🟢 Who they are – Age, location, interests, job role.
🟢 What they need – The problems your brand solves for them.
🟢 Where they spend time online – Instagram? LinkedIn? TikTok?
Example: North Street Carpets & Beds
For North Street Carpets & Beds, their ideal audience was homeowners and local businesses looking for high-quality carpets and beds. We focused on Facebook and Instagram, where their audience was most active, and created engaging reels and ads that increased social media views from 200 to over 10,000.
Step 3: Create a Content Plan
A great social media strategy starts with great content. Plan your posts around a mix of engaging, educational, and promotional content to keep your audience interested.
Types of content to include:
🟢 Educational content – Tips, industry insights, how-to guides.
🟢 Engaging content – Polls, questions, interactive posts.
🟢 Visual content – High-quality images, videos, behind-the-scenes footage.
🟢 Promotional content – Product highlights, special offers, client testimonials.
Example: Saints Restaurant
For Saints Restaurant, we created a content plan featuring high-quality food photography, behind-the-scenes kitchen clips, and interactive polls. This mix boosted engagement and positioned Saints as one of Essex’s go-to dining spots.
Step 4: Be Consistent
Social media rewards consistency. Posting sporadically makes it harder to grow. Use a content calendar to schedule posts in advance and keep your brand active.
Posting frequency:
🟢 Instagram & Facebook – 3–5 times per week.
🟢 LinkedIn – 2–3 times per week.
🟢 TikTok & Reels – 3+ times per week for growth.
Tip: Tools like Meta Business Suite and scheduling apps can help you stay consistent without spending hours posting manually.
Step 5: Engage With Your Audience
Social media is a two-way conversation. Brands that respond to comments, answer DMs, and engage with followers build stronger relationships and increase trust.
🟢 Reply to comments and messages – Show your audience you’re listening.
🟢 Engage with other accounts – Like and comment on posts from similar brands or customers.
🟢 Encourage interaction – Ask questions, run polls, and start conversations.
Step 6: Track and Improve
If you’re not tracking your results, you’re guessing what works. Regularly check your social media analytics to see which posts perform best and adjust your strategy accordingly.
🟢 Monitor key metrics – Engagement rate, reach, click-through rate, and conversions.
🟢 Test different content types – Experiment with reels, carousels, and live videos.
🟢 Refine your strategy – Double down on what works and improve what doesn’t.
