Online Marketing in Austin Via Twitter
Twitter is a great way to not only keep up with what’s going on in Austin but also to reach audiences here as well. Tweeting an announcement, content, interesting and relevant link, etc. out with a hashtag that targets another larger twitter following can mean way more views for your brand and a lot more traffic for your product, service, message, brand, etc. For a case study of how this works, check out the social metrics on our Austin Infographic or read more about Austin SEO and city specific tactics.
