How you engage with your clients leaves a lasting impression of your company on your consumers.

If you leave questions, messages, or comments unattended, clients will feel ignored or unimportant. Most social media platforms also consider engagement in their algorithms. Unanswered comments will affect the ranking of your account and your organic growth.

Not only is responding to engagement on your page important but engaging with other accounts is just as important for your business’s ranking and organic growth.

Some believe the word “outsource” has a negative cogitation. But, what it really boils down to is whether you have the time or money to complete a task. This is true in our personal and professional lives. We could all paint our houses, but a professional can probably do it better and more efficiently. Hiring an independent contractor to support your small business can help you run more efficiently.

No matter if you are a baker, landscaper, restaurant owner, or HVAC technician, you are more than likely working with a full plate. Your day-to-day operations, ordering supplies, paying bills, supervising employees, managing customers and selling your products and services can take up the majority of your time.

This is where a virtual assistant (VA) or online business manager (OBM) can help support your efforts.
