Quick platform guide

Instagram — visual brands, broad reach
TikTok — younger, video, fast discovery
Facebook — local, community, older

Frequently asked questions

Which social media platform is right for my business?

How do I choose the right platform?

Find the overlap between where your customers spend time and what content you can realistically keep creating. Then pick one or two platforms and focus, rather than spreading yourself thin across all of them.
