How to Connect Your Website and Social Media Presence
To increase your online presence, it's crucial to link your website and social media profiles – here's how to do it
When it comes to online marketing, a website and social media presence go hand in hand. You need social media to build your website’s search engine optimisation and, in turn, you can use your website as a source of content to share on social media platforms. Follow this guide to find out how you can reap the benefits of adding social media links to your website.
Show off your posts
Another way to highlight your social media presence is to showcase your posts on your website. It’s possible to embed your social media feeds, for example, into your website to show readers what content you’re posting. It’s a great way to create a buzz and let visitors know instantly that you’re keeping up to date with what’s going on in the industry you are in.

Connect to your Houzz profile
It’s really simple to link your website to your Houzz profile by including a Houzz badge alongside your other social media buttons. Many websites now help you easily add a Houzz badge, so you can put it on while you’re building your site. And if your website provider doesn’t have this option, that’s no problem either. Visit the Houzz Buttons and Badges page, click on your preferred Houzz badge to reveal your personalised HTML code, then copy and paste it to your website.

Include social media buttons on every page of your website to make it easy for visitors to link to all your profiles. Buttons for the main social networks are usually included as part of your website building software, so it’s simple to pop them on. For the best results, make sure they’re positioned in a prominent spot, such as the top, bottom or side of the web page. If you haven’t updated one online channel for a while it’s best to leave this button out and focus on the platforms you use regularly.
As well as buttons that navigate to your social media channels, don’t forget to include sharing buttons that will allow visitors to post your content to their own profiles.
