New Instagram + Google Update!

Your posts can now appear in Google search results 🔍

What this means for you:

More eyes on your content – even outside Instagram
Reach beyond followers to searchers
More visibility = more potential sales

Here’s how AI can help you make the most of it:

🤩 Craft captions that show up in search
🤩 Write descriptive alt-text that boosts accessibility and SEO
🤩 Plan posts around what your ideal customer is Googling

Stop posting and hoping and start creating content that gets found. ✨

12/07/2025

I keep seeing posts celebrating increased reach, views, and follower growth.

And while it’s always good to get more eyes on your content, it’s not what matters most if you’re looking for sales.

10K views mean nothing if no one clicks, enquires, or buys.
Followers don’t pay the bills - customers do.

Whether you’re managing your own marketing or working with an agency, here’s what you should be focusing on.

✅ Is your content genuinely connecting with your ideal audience?
✅ Are you moving people from scrolling to signing up, enquiring, or buying?
✅ Can you measure value and not just vanity?

If you don’t have a team to help with that, AI can be a powerful assistant (not a replacement!)

Use it to write sharper, more intentional calls to action
Plan content around real pain points and not just trends
Analyse what’s actually converting and do more of that!

You don’t need to be the most visible, you need to be the most valuable ❤️

“AI won’t steal your job…

…but someone who knows how to use it might.

As a Social Media Manager and Digital Marketer, I know firsthand that AI can’t replace humans — but learning to use it well? That’s becoming one of the most valuable skills in business today.

The fastest-growing digital skill right now? Prompt engineering — the ability to ask the right questions and get powerful results.

It’s not about cheating or cutting corners. It’s about working smarter, saving time, and showing up consistently without burning out.

If you're still unsure about AI, I get it. It’s not perfect, and it’s not magic — but when used wisely, it’s a game-changer for small business owners.

That’s why I created AI Marketing Made Simple — a practical, simple guide to using AI in your content and marketing workflow.

💡 For a limited time, I’m offering it at a reduced price in exchange for feedback ahead of a full relaunch later this summer.

🧠 And as a thank-you, you’ll also get my 100 AI Prompts for Busy Business Owners completely free — just for sharing your thoughts.

Let AI support your business — not replace it.

Do You Say Please & Thank You to AI?

I like to think I have good manners in real life so it’s second nature to me to be polite when I’m requesting something, whether that’s in an email to a client or a prompt in ChatGPT!

But did you know that the way you communicate with AI can impact the results you get?

Studies show that using polite, structured prompts can improve response accuracy and quality by up to 15-30% with polite prompts consistently outperforming rude ones!

Why? Because AI is trained on human language patterns, and well-formed queries often lead to more relevant and insightful answers.

Do you use please and thank you when prompting AI? Let me know in the comments!

Thank you 😉

Where did January go?!

Over the past few months, I’ve been deep in the world of AI alongside my existing client work. In the coming months I’ll be helping you to work smarter, not harder when it comes to content creation, strategy and engagement. No more staring at a blank screen wondering what to post!

Im also launching a weekly newsletter with actionable tips to help you level up your marketing with AI (without the overwhelm) if that sounds like something you need, leave a comment and I’ll send you the link to sign up!

And remember - AI is a fantastic tool but it will never replace the human connection that makes great marketing work - it’s here to enhance what we do, not take over!

Have a great weekend! ❤️

Here’s some Social Media updates from October that you might have missed!

Instagram – Carousel engagement rates have now surpassed Reels, though Reels still deliver higher reach. Make sure your strategy contains a good mix of carousels, reels and stories

New Feature: You can now add music to carousel posts, making them eligible to appear in the Reels feed. This is a great chance to boost visibility and reach.

YouTube – YouTube continues to prioritise Shorts, with any video under three minutes automatically becoming a Short. Are you using YouTube Shorts for your business? I don’t use YouTube so would love to know how successful it is for you.

TikTok – Educational content is thriving, with an 18% increase in STEM-related videos and a new feed dedicated exclusively to STEM content. If your niche includes educational or STEM topics this is a great opportunity.

Facebook – In the US Facebook is rolling out new “Local” and “Explore” tabs, allowing users to toggle between content relevant to their location and curated content based on interests. This setup is similar to the differentiated feeds on Instagram and TikTok, giving users more ways to discover engaging content.

Hope this was useful! I’ll do a personal roundup of my October shortly - it’s been busy!

If you enjoy your work, make it known!

Research shows that when buyers know a seller enjoys creating their products or offering their services, they are more likely to buy!

They are also willing to pay more and perceive the goods or services to be higher quality.

So what can you do?

😍Highlight your passion in your bio, product descriptions, and ads, especially for high-skill offerings.

😍Share stories or behind the scenes content that shows you enjoying what you do.

😍Tell people! In person or online - make sure people know what you love and why you love it!

You can start by telling me in the comments! Do you enjoy what you do and do you think that enthusiasm comes across in your content?

09/08/2024

You can now add up to 20 pictures in a carousel post!

Carousel posts are one of the most engaging formats on Instagram. On average they receive 154 more interactions than single image posts.

Carousels are great for sharing new products, before and afters, educational content and storytelling.

What could you share in a carousel post?

Today is National Opportunity Day.

This day is geared specifically towards students in Scotland but is also meant for people who have started off in one career only to find that the choices they made as teens aren’t a good fit later in life.

Growing up I wanted to be a TV presenter (a failed audition as a weather presenter made me realise how terrible I would actually be 😂)

I then wanted to be a journalist, doing work experience at a magazine in London then going on to study journalism before realising I didn’t enjoy that as much as I thought either.

I then switched to Communication & Media which led me into a career in marketing and here we are!

What did you want to do growing up and what are you doing now?

Adam Mosseri has said that while Instagram want to connect people to the content that they care about, there are reasons why your followers might not see your posts.

📍Maybe around half of them they didn’t open Instagram that day.
📍Those who did maybe didn’t spend that much time on the app or dig deep enough into content.
📍Maybe they did, but the algorithm didn’t rank the content correctly.
📍Maybe your audience are not as interested as they used to be.

So, what can you do? Test, test, test! Experiment with your content and look for patterns. Find out what types of content work best and do more of that.

What type of content performs best for you? Do you know how to check your analytics to find this info out?

Hello 👋🏻

Still here, still busy with lots of fun client work and still ignoring all the advice I give to clients - be consistent and show up online 🥴

So until I get back into the swing of it (I have a few things I want to talk about this week) here’s a fun post I wanted to share - which one is your favourite and more importantly, do you know what they all mean?!

Let me know which one you’re relating to today!

3 new Instagram updates…

1️⃣Instagram are launching 3 minute reels. After the success of longer videos on TikTok, Instagram are trialing the same.

2️⃣Followers from reels. You can now see how many followers you have gained from each reel. While followers aren’t necessarily the metric you should be aiming for, it will be interesting to see what type of content is driving followers.

3️⃣Carousel Updates. Instagram recently confirmed that it is testing the option to post up to 15 pictures in a single carousel. Further to this, people will be able to respond to a specific picture in the comments by typing @ followed by the corresponding picture. The pic will then show up in the comments alongside the comment. This will give clarity on what people are referring to and will help you to understand what pictures people are responding to the most.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
