Heavily relying on making automated posts
Though some social media posts can be automated with few resulting issues, you can make a much better impression on potential customers if you use your company’s social media account to directly interact with them, especially to address their unique concerns.

If you saw a company’s Facebook page only to discover that they have not added a post to it since April 2014, you would probably suspect that they are also lax in running other aspects of their business. Update regularly to try to avoid giving people that unfavourable impression of your business.
