Hi, we’re Maybe*. If you’ve not met us before we’ve made it our mission to help local businesses engage in local conversations to build engagement online and offline all to drive visits and recovery at a place level. We're such big fans of showing the local love on social media that every week we virtually visit different towns across the UK to showcase great social, so you can learn and replicate.
Next stop is Chipping Campden. Any business in any place can apply the tactics below to improve the impact of their social media activity. We’re working with businesses across the Cotswolds to help them make social media work for them in a bid to support recovery across the UK.
The Maybe* Place Insights tool allows you to benchmark the social media activity, posts, engagement, sentiment and conversation topics of all businesses within your place. When you know what the local conversation has in common, you too can stage your own local social media 'love in'.
