Have you ever stopped to think about what your social media is really saying about your business?
If you are like most small business owners, you are probably so busy running your day-to-day operations that social media sometimes feels like an afterthought. A quick post here, a shared link there. But here is the truth: your social media presence is often the first place potential customers go to check you out. And it can either help your brand grow or quietly work against you.

At Norris Design Co., we work with businesses every day who realize their social media is not doing them any favors. If you are wondering whether your social media is helping or hurting your brand, here are a few important questions to ask yourself.
Are You Showing Up Consistently?
When was the last time you posted? Are you showing up every week or disappearing for months at a time?
Consistency tells people you are serious, reliable, and active. If your page looks abandoned, it can leave potential customers wondering if your business is still open. The good news is that with the right plan, showing up consistently does not have to take up all your time.
Is Your Content Reflecting the Quality of Your Brand?
Take a fresh look at your posts through the eyes of a new customer. Are your photos clear and professional? Are your graphics on-brand? Is your messaging polished and confident?
Your social media is an extension of your brand’s reputation. Low-quality posts can accidentally make even the best businesses look less trustworthy. High-quality, on-brand content makes a strong first impression and builds credibility.
Are You Speaking to the Right People?
It is not just about posting more. It is about posting with purpose. Are you sharing content that speaks directly to the people you want to work with? Or are you posting just to check it off the list?
A strong social media presence makes your ideal customer feel like you understand them. It builds a connection that makes them want to learn more about your business.
Are You Getting the Results You Want?
Social media should be doing more than keeping you busy. It should be helping you grow. Are you seeing more engagement, more website traffic, more leads? Or are you posting without much return?
If you are putting in the effort but not seeing results, it might be time for a new approach.
