Social media is a significant digital marketing tool to turn your existing customers into loyal ones, connect with your potential guests and increase your online agency’s sales. Therefore, you should interact with your followers through your online agency’s Facebook page. In other words, you should ensure that your posts draw attention and interest, thus they are liked and shared as well as commented on.

Do those who ’like’ your Facebook posts express only their ‘like’? Isn’t it possible that the ‘liked posts’ also indicate that your product/service is supported and recommended? According to social media experts, the ‘likes’, ‘comments’ and ‘reshares’ that seem to be unimportant actually reflect more and they create a connection between the “posts” and the users “resharing” them.
