In the real world, and on social media, first impressions matter. On your Facebook page, the first text that any of your visitors see is your “Intro” section. Surprisingly, many businesses overlook this.
Think of the Intro section on Facebook as your elevator pitch – it’s meant to be a compelling snippet that leaves your audience wanting to know more…
The Power of 101 Characters
Did you know that the Intro section on Facebook cuts off content after just 101 characters?
That’s right, you have a mere 101 characters to capture your audience’s attention and let them know how you can help them.
Unfortunately, many businesses make the mistake of copying and pasting their “About Us” text here. This content usually is much more than 101 characters. This causes the Intro text to ges cut off, creating a sloppy and careless appearance.
Why It Matters
Imagine stumbling upon an Intro that just leaves you hanging, wondering what the rest of the message is supposed to be. Sort of like having someone simply quit talking in the middle of a very important sentence.
This can easily put the reader in a subtle state of confusion. This mental disconnect may even cause them to think that your business is disorganized or at least a bit unprofessional. It’s not a great first impression, is it?
However, by taking literally just a couple minutes to review and optimize your Intro section, you can ensure a seamless and engaging experience for your audience.
