Where to Find This
Navigate to Services → Website → SEO Settings → Social Media sub-tab.
Why Add Social Profiles?
Adding social media links to your business profile offers several benefits:
- Enhanced Visibility: Search engines recognize a more complete business profile.
- Customer Engagement: Makes it easy for customers to find and follow you.
- Increased Trust: Active social presence boosts credibility.
- Improved Local SEO: Consistent information across platforms enhances local search results.
Steps
1. Open SEO Settings
Go to Services → Website → SEO Settings.
2. Open the Social Media Sub-Tab
Select Social Media, where you'll find the Social Media Profiles card.
3. Enter Your Social Media URLs
Add the full URL for each platform you use. Here are examples for common platforms:
- Facebook:
https://facebook.com/yourbusiness - Twitter/X:
https://twitter.com/yourbusiness - Instagram:
https://instagram.com/yourbusiness - LinkedIn:
https://linkedin.com/company/yourbusiness
Each link must be a full web address starting with https://. If you type something that isn't a valid address, an inline warning appears beneath the field so you can correct it — leaving a field blank is fine, since these are all optional.
4. Save Your Changes
Click Save Changes to update your social media links.
Best Practices
- Only Add Active Profiles: Avoid linking to accounts you don't update regularly.
- Use Business Accounts: Ensure the links are to your business profiles, not personal ones.
- Maintain Consistency: Use the same business name and logo across all platforms.
- Verify Your Links: Double-check that each URL is correct and functional before saving.
Which Platforms to Add?
Focus on platforms where your customers are most active:
Optional Fields
All social media fields are optional. It's better to have no link than a link to an inactive or empty profile.

- In your website footer (if your template includes them)
- In the business summary search engines read from your site
Updating Your Links
