If there's a sales funnel that flows from social to the website, well, you first of all need to attract people to your social media profile. And it needs to be very, very clear from your profile, how they can get to a relevant landing page.But at the end of the day, I think what a lot of companies miss out on and I talk about this when I talk about Twitter especially, and what I read When you do as well is to create a landing page that is specific to the social media platform that you expect traffic to come from a separate landing page.The more backlinks you get to that one page, the higher you know, the more authority, the more domain authority that page is going to have.On the other hand, it might be more effective from a conversion perspective, if you are able to describe your company in 140 character tweets, or to be able to show a widget of people that have recommended your company on Twitter by you know, showing a widget of all the favorites or a Storify. You want to seamlessly integrate it right to keep that funnel tight. And to improve the efficiency of that funnel to try to maximize the percentage and number of conversions you can get. And that it's the call to action.You need to understand where your sales are coming from what your website funnel looks like right now. And then do you have enough avenues for people to come from social media to your website?
