What social media marketing involves
Social media marketing here means using the platforms your customers actually use to stay visible, demonstrate your work and support enquiries — measured by business outcomes rather than follower counts.
In Exeter that usually means working with professional and financial services, construction and trades and healthcare and private clinics, so social media marketing here is shaped around the enquiries those businesses actually get — not a template applied to every town in Devon.
