Which social media platform is best for your business?

Neil Patel polled 483 companies to figure out the value of 100 followers on each social media platform.

Among the findings:

  • Pinterest drives the most traffic (almost 5 visits per 100 followers), while Instagram drives the least (almost 0 visits per 100 followers).
  • LinkedIn scored the best on engagements per post, while Twitter scored the worst.
  • Instagram dominates in terms of video views per 100 followers (no doubt helped by their loose definition of a “view”).
  • LinkedIn dominates for turning followers into email subscribers.
  • Companies were generating more than 7% of revenue from social media traffic in 2015. Today, less than 2%.

Overall, I come away from that article with a much better impression of LinkedIn – it ranks #1 or #2 in every category!

Is your business active on LinkedIn?

If so, how is it working for you?
